# Kolbie Blume
*Watercolor artist and writer*

Kolbie Blume is a self-taught artist, writer, and adventure-seeker (both at her desk and around the world). Through her popular art Instagram account, This Writing Desk, and her online classes and tutorials, she has taught thousands of students worldwide to love watercolor and embrace the power of imperfect creativity. Her passion is helping closet creatives say to themselves, "Actually, I think I CAN do that," because she wholeheartedly believes that's what will make the world a more beautiful place. When she's not painting, you can usually find her buried in a good book, soaking up the trees and sunshine in her neighborhood, or doing her best to get a belly laugh out of her kid.You can find more of her work and her story at thiswritingdesk.com and on Instagram @thiswritingdesk.
