Welcome to Better With Art! I'm Melinda and I'm here to encourage you to reclaim your creativity and practice creative self-care with weekly small-art prompts that can be done in an art journal or on paper if you don't have one. Link below for my favorite if you’re looking for one. It works well with the dry, wet, and layered applications I use it for.

This one is 140lb/300gsm.
