🌸 Happy Spring! Lots of News + Upcoming LIVE Coffee & Chat | Wed. April 15, 1 PM ET ☕🖌️

Happy spring, everyone! 🌷 It feels like this season is arriving with so much fresh energy, and I have a lot of exciting things to share with you. We’ve already completed so many beautiful projects together this year - from our classic florals to, by popular demand, more animals ( I love seeing your horses and bunnies in our shared Facebook group!). It always makes me so happy to wake up and see your interpretations. With spring in full bloom, this feels like the perfect time to share a little studio news and invite you to our next live watercolor chat. ✨

🌿 1. My new Botanical Watercolor Brush Set with Escoda

I’m so excited to finally reveal something Escoda and I have been working on for quite some time: my new Botanical Watercolor Brush Set! 🖌️✨

I get asked all the time which brushes work best for painting flowers and botanicals, so it felt incredibly meaningful to create a set built around the way I actually paint. Escoda has been one of my favourite brush brands for over 15 years, and this set combines my go-to shapes and bristles for everything from soft washes to tiny organic details.

Inside the set:Perla Round #8 — for soft wet-into-wet washes, petals, and leavesPrado Flat 1/2" — for crisp edges, shaping forms, and lifting highlightsPrado Rigger #4 — for stems, veins, and delicate linesChronos Round #2 — for precision, pigment load, and fine organic detail

The set was just announced by Escoda last week and will soon be available through the Escoda Amazon store and major art stores around the world. Distribution can take a little time, so availability may vary depending on where you are. 🌍 The brushes are currently available on:

☕ 2. Upcoming LIVE Coffee & Chat — All Things Watercolor

I also wanted to let you know that I’m really looking forward to our upcoming LIVE Coffee & Chat this Wednesday, April 15 at 1 PM ET. I wasn't able to host one oer the winter months, because kids and I kept getting sick...but I am super excited to reconnect with you all. 💛
