It all began...
...back in 2021 when Viviva Colors reached out to me in an email about a partnership in a cobranded set of paints.
Well, as you know, I don't do ads on my site and I'm not into selling other products because everything I do with Wings, Worms, and Wonder is very ethically driven and it is way to difficult to keep track of other companies' ethical standards! So, I was a bit skeptical, but thought something about this seems different. Let me keep an open mind and give it a look into.
So I did some research on the company, was was blown away by the far reach of their ethical standards from environmental to social - as well as the mission behind why they make these paints and art supplies. I thought I can definitely get into this! We worked together for a few months coming up with how our first collaboration would happen and what was expected on both ends.
It was great. Very open and kind and not all about the sales. It was actually not really about sales at all, because I made clear that I was not about that, and so the relationship began on a foundation of creative collaboration- which you know is right up my alley. Plus - the timeframe aligned so perfectly with the release of my 5th book, Draw Yourself Back to Nature! Such a win on all sides!
The Paints!
On top of all the amazing ethics, enthusiasm, & kindness of the Viviva team, I love the vibrancy of these paints! They are so brilliant and saturated and the metallics are so sparkly!
The paint and sketchbook products quality are equal to the high level ethics! I can honestly say, their sketchbooks are my all time favorite sketchbooks of all time. They are amazing for paint, pencil, pens, markers - and combinations off all! Win-win -win!
From the first cobranded set of paint to the past 6 months as an Ambassador, I really can't speak highly enough of my relationship with the people, art products, and paints of Viviva Colors. But, what does this have to do with Wonder Wednesday projects?

OMG, this is so cool. And how did I not know that it's Watercolor MONTH? I need to paint a lot more than I have been these first few days, that's for sure. Will check the playlist out ASAP! And use my Vivivia even more! 🙂 They're SO fun to play with. Thanks again Kelly.

Kära Hanna! Yay! I’m so glad you are having fun with the paints! and I have to admit – I haven’t painted as much as I’d hoped for World Watercolor Month either, but there is still time! <3 kelly
