Ambassador Sophia Trinh has been thinking a lot about imposter syndrome lately. Her favorite tool to combat that feeling might surprise you: waterproof pens!

Sophia says, “Using waterproof pens in my watercolor paintings helps me see that I can be bold and brave in my work by adding more definition. It allows me to take a risk and see that I can do it and have done it!”

“With waterproof pens, you can paint around, on top, and underneath without bleeding. I would love to see how you create work with waterproof pens and what you do to climb the mental mountain of imposter syndrome.”
