✨✏️ NEW SERIES — Drawing for Watercolor Artists! 🎉 (Patreon)

One of the most requested topics I’ve had over the years is: "How do you draw directly on watercolor paper?" So many of you are looking for tips to create clean, light, and confident outlines that:

Protect the paper’s surface and avoid over-erasing

Help you see and simplify even the trickiest shapes

Make sketching feel easy and joyful — even on the most delicate cotton paper — setting you up for a smooth, successful watercolor painting

🌟 Launching This Friday

I’m so excited to share my brand-new series on Patreon: Drawing for Watercolor Artists. In each session, recorded live, you’ll:

Learn the classic fundamentals of traditional drawing from my professional background (Canadian coin design, book covers, surface design)

Discover how to adapt these skills for the unique needs of watercolor

Practice making minimal, intentional pencil marks

Translate your reference images into light, accurate sketches that are ready for paint

Show you how to observe references and break down organic shapes

Get comfortable making mistakes together (and learning from them!)

🍑 First Episode: Plum Tree

We’ll start with a plum tree (also becoming a watercolor tutorial later next week). In the months ahead, we’ll draw together a variety of subjects — flowers, fruit, birds, and animals — building your skills and confidence step by step.

🏡 Why Now?

It’s taken me a while to bring this series to life because I wanted to record these drawing sessions live, so I can share my thought process with you as I draw in real time. Now that I’ve moved to a new space — it’s finally happening!

🎯 Drawing for Watercolor will Help You

Make sketching on watercolor paper feel easy and joyful — even on delicate watercolor paper

Sharpen your accuracy and creative confidence

Create light, intentional lines that set the stage for your best painting work

First episode drops this Friday — I can’t wait to draw with you! 🖋🎨
