dogs, debutantes, gouache, wikipedia rabbit holes, and is tracing cheating??
Thanks so much for listening to this week's episode of the Draw Pod. In this episode, I talk about being home alone with my dogs, watching the crown and being led down wikipedia rabbit holes where I learn about debutantes and the "Texas Dip", the most delicious homemade pizza I have ever made, and what books I am currently reading. I also am switching up the podcast and trying to talk more about art, and specifically the art that I am making in the video. In this episode, I talk about the ethics of tracing in art, and whether or not I think it is cheating (for my purposes (tracing photos I took to paint), it is not. (but please don't trace other peoples art)).
Anyway, here are the links to things I talked about in this episode:

A Week In Berlin
Hello and thanks for listening to this episode of Draw Pod. In this episode I draw some memories of my week in Berlin during Summer 2019. I studied abroad in Madrid, then traveled to Berlin for a week to see some friends and get to know the city. I had a fun time eating food, walking around, enjoying museums, and having some fun nights out. In the video I tell some stories from my time there, and compare my experiences in Madrid and Berlin. Hope you enjoyed, and make sure to check out the video on my channel. You can see the finished drawing on my instagram @elyse_draws. My YouTube Channel
