Exciting news - more spots open! (Patreon)

You might already know, but I am hosting a watercolor retreat in France this summer. It completely sold out within a couple of weeks, to the disappointment of many of you. I'm excited to announce, that Uptrek has opened up a whole new week for the retreat! That means 16 new spots are up for grabs to come learn and paint and relax with me in Loire, Valley.

The video goes into more detail, but so far 4 of the 16 spots have been claimed from the waitlist, but my patreon members get first dibs on bookings before the retreat goes public on Monday Jan 27th. Let me know what questions you have! I hope to see you in France :)
