Sara Schroeder talks about creating abstract art, teaching art, and her “Old Book Revival Project” which encourages people to create artwork in old books that are no longer being read.
Although abstract, you will recognise elements of the Art Deco style typical to Miami, where Sara lives.
Sara talks about getting over your fears of creating art by not taking it too seriously in the beginning and just making marks.

Nick Stewart returns to discuss his course on using fountain pen ink as a unique art medium. Nick’s project pushes the boundaries in which fountain pen ink is used in art. Away from a pure sketching ink, to an art medium akin to paint, with unique properties such as shading, sheening and reaction to bleach.
Nick first talked about this project on episode 51 of Art Supply Posse. Since then, Nick has released a course on Udemy where he teaches his techniques for creating art using the unique properties of fountain pen inks and bleach.

Mokshini’s style is influenced by fashion illustration where she began her career. However, she frequently contradicts traditional fashion norms by painting women of all shapes and sizes in relatable, and often whimsical, every day situations.
Mokshini does everything from painting to fabric design and live drawing. She uses a wide range of media including watercolour and acrylics, but also has a penchant for gouache.
Her art is primarily analogue. It has a very painterly feel, visible in the heavy textures of the paper, canvas, and brushstrokes.
