Hello, Friends!

I have some exciting news to share with you about my new mini course Watercolor Joy!

As you probably know, I’ve been painting lots of small studies for my recent collection. And I started painting watercolors in my sketchbook.

Well, today I’m writing to you from my studio balcony where the weather feels like we’ve jumped right into autumn.

We live in the middle of a 10-acre forest, surrounded by the tallest oaks and pine trees. The leaves are just starting to turn orange, golden. and red. While I love summer, this time of year is the perfect time to open the studio doors and paint outside.

So, of course, I got out my watercolors and have been painting in my sketchbook.

Painting has always been a healing process for me. Yet I found I wasn’t feeling creatively inspired. I wanted to make painting simple (and super fun and calming).

I generally paint with lots of color and supplies on canvas. But I noticed I started to drag my feet getting into the studio. But then I got some watercolors, and a sketchbook, and started to play.

Changing my tools got me unstuck. And not only has my creativity bloomed… but I feel so much joy!

Now I love that I can do these small paintings anywhere in just a few minutes. I have a carryall packed with the few supplies (watercolors, sketchbook, water-soluble pencil, a brush and a water bottle) and I take it with me everywhere. It’s so calming like a meditation.

Whenever I need to fill my cup, I just grab my watercolors and paint.

Having fun with my artwork helps me to let go again. Then I can follow my heart and paint without the pressure of everything having to be perfect.

I want you to feel all of that happiness and joy too! And I’m thrilled this new mini course Watercolor Joy is finally here to share with you!
