News and Updates!

First of all, thank you to everyone who attended the Zoom STUDIO CIRCLE class this past Sunday. Your work was admirable and it was so enjoyable to talk with you, teach you, and paint together.

1. The “Sudden Snow” STUDIO CIRCLE lesson from this past Sunday is almost ready for release! I have been working on editing the Zoom recording and will have this out soon. For a change this month, I’ll not only be releasing the full real-time recording, but also a shortened time-lapsed version for those who want to focus strictly on the painting.

2. Next week, I’m hosting a Zoom “Open Studio” which is a fun time to gather together and paint! I usually do not have a lesson during this time as it is a more chatty, question and answer, paint-whatever-you-like vibe. These zoom session’s last around an hour and I’ll be sending out the Zoom invite soon. Sign up for STUDIO CIRCLE if you’d like to be there!

3. I have recently created a Discord Server which is a fun “message board” type application to ask questions, post your paintings, and get to know one another. Right now, I have a few patrons there as we beta test the module and get to know its ins and outs. I will be adding this benefit to some of the tiers on The Beauty of Pastel and will keep you updated!

4. BONUS video coming soon for all my Patrons! I like to sneak these in as time allows for a big thank you for your support. This month, I’m finalizing my “why paint on blue paper” video. These bonuses are usually a hybrid real-time talking/timelapse to music type of video for everyone’s viewing enjoyment!

5. If you’re here, you found my blog! Yes, I’ve had a blog for years and years (and years), but as I’ve worked more full-time over here, it has mostly been left to be raised by wolves. I have so many blog posts in my archives and am committed to posting them more frequently. I’ll have everything from art tips to marketing and promotional business tips, to printables and more!
