Hey friends!

I've got TWO exciting things to share with you this week! It's been a whole month since my book Watercolor in 5 Simple Steps has been published  (HOW?!) and I'm celebrating with an awesome giveaway in partnership with Luchetti!  

One lucky winner is getting their sold-out True-Flat sketchbook Duo, a signed copy of my book AND an original landscape I painted and signed right inside the mini sketchbook! 

for this weeks tutorial I thought it would be fun to share one of the winter landscape projects straight from my book, which just so happens to be the very same painting I made for the giveaway!

I've included the actual photo steps from the book below so you can paint it, too and if you'd also like to follow along with me I've got the full video tutorial waiting for you on YouTube!

OKAY , LET'S PAINT! ⤵

OK, NOW FOR THE GIVEAWAY!

I've teamed up with Luchetti to give one lucky winner their incredible True-Flat sketchbook Duo, which is currently SOLD OUT! We're talking beautiful, gutterless watercolor sketchbooks that lay completely flat, with 100% cotton, 600 GSM cold-press paper..they're TRULY amazing!

Here's what you could win:

🎨 An 8x8 Luchetti True-Flat sketchbook

🎨 A 5.5x5.5 Via mini sketchbook

📖 A signed copy of my book, Watercolor in 5 Simple Steps

🖌️ AAAND an original watercolor painting by me!

sooo here's where this week's tutorial comes in..

You know how starting that very first page of a new sketchbook can feel a little intimidating? Well, I'm taking that pressure off for one of you! I painted and signed the very first spread of the mini with the same winter landscape we're painting this week!

So whoever wins gets a little original piece of my artwork to start their new sketchbook!

The giveaway is happening over on Instagram, and you have until Friday, November 13 to enter! It's open to U.S. residents ages 18+ at this time. (sorry shipping, customs and the product not being mine gives me anxiety to ship out of US!)

Good luck!!  

and thank you for all the love and support you've shown my book this past month!
