What’s in my Couch Side Art Cart?

Hi friends! Recently, I repurposed a rolling cart to house some art supplies next to the couch where I like to laze about. I had been feeling really disappointed in myself because I wasn’t drawing as much as I wanted to, but at night, I was too run down to gather up supplies to draw with. Enter the frictionless art cart! It has made all the difference in my drawing practice, and it might help you too! Step 1. Get a cart. Step 2. Fill it with stuff. Step 3. Create!

Supplies (Affiliate link used)
