Hello friends! Today I’m writing to share a few things, and the first is that the “Doodling with Dawn” videos are still going up on Saturday mornings and that they are starting to gain more views (YAY!). Here’s a link if you want to watch the latest one on YouTube: https://youtu.be/t3KSn8rE4CY?si=M2DAuWxtrFqN1LZy You can click on my channel name to see other videos that you may have missed. For some of my videos, you can go to my main menu here on the website and click on the “Doodling with Dawn Printables” page to print some free doodle/coloring pages. You’re welcome to work along with the video, just watch the video without doing art, or doodle the page on your own. Print as many copies as you like – they’re FREEEEEEEE!!! (Also please like, subscribe, and share the videos to anyone who you might think would benefit from them as the more we spread the word, the more people can be helped by them.)
Another “new and now” (and SUPER EXCITING) thing is that I’ve opened a small local shop here in Lincoln, Nebraska! It’s located at Southpointe Shopping Center in the new Painted Tree Boutiques building. I have made a short video tour that you can watch here: https://youtu.be/NyO1fWkwe8A?si=-eO-O4BqLt_3CmuW I hope you enjoy touring the space. I have worked so hard over the last few months preparing, and especially over the last week. I made sure to spend time in the space playing worship music to sanctify the space – to share light and life and make it a “good vibes” space. If you’re not local and cannot attend the shop, but are interested in something I’ve made, please contact me at dmpaulart@gmail.com or call me at 402-440-5824 and leave your number. I’d be glad to chat about it!

Another fun thing to have happened over the last few months is that I’ve become an affiliate for Awesome Art School with Karen Campbell. It’s not Christian-based, but she works tons of fun projects that really help to improve our art skills. Just making more art also helps with that – the more you do, the better you get! She offers a drawing club, a mixed media club, and for fantasy lovers like me, a “Celtic Collective” club. My affiliate links are on my Linktree page here: https://linktr.ee/dmpaulart If you’re interested in a reasonably-priced and flexible art school, check out Awesome Art School. Here are some of my latest lessons from there (I’m super proud of my Ella Fitzgerald!):




Well, that’s enough for now. Hope you find something that makes you smile in this post!
Love, Dawn
