    Propagating by leaf is one of the most popular methods in my experience because it’s so easy and you can do it year-round. I’ve started rooting leaves in both water and soil. Sometimes it takes a couple months for a baby plant to emerge from a potted prop so patience is key!

    I like the fact that the greenery is rendered in more detail! It draws the eye in towards the shack. I guess if I were to give any feedback it might be that there isn’t much sense of depth because all the green sort of flattens everything out. There is a foreground and a middle, with my eye stopping at the shack with nowhere to go. I can tell there’s depth because of the perspective but a darkening or cooling of hue would help imagine a deeper forest. I really enjoyed this and like many others I feel a sense of peace and coziness. Thanks for sharing!


  • I do love the transparency (and sometimes unpredictability) of watercolor which got me interested in the first place. There’s a vibrant and lively quality to gouache though, though, that really tugs at me. Maybe it’s the fact that you can go both opaque and transparent? Unfortunately money is tight and I can’t afford to splash out on decent gouache at the moment so I will focus on watercolor and squash the gouache for now.




  • My background is in graphic design/marketing and I’ve mostly worked in the non-profit sector. A few years ago I canceled my Spotify subscription after they hiked up the prices and decided I wanted a way to stream my own music collection from anywhere. I found Navidrone, began learning docker, fell down the Jellyfin/arr rabbit hole, and eventually stumbled upon Cosmos Server as a simpler way to expose my containers safely. It’s been a fun project and a welcoming community so far.
