Blog | Laura Longoni Art

Welcome to my Blog!

For me, art is a way to find my happiness and free my soul, because through colors we can express our true selves and our feelings.

In this blog, I would like to share my journey into the world of abstract art (acrylic pouring) and adult colouring with you by sharing my own experiences with art materials and new techniques, as well as my thoughts and advice.

I hope this brightens your everyday life and helps you find new inspiration!
