Hi everyone! 

Thank you so much for being here and for your wonderful support. I hope you are all doing well. It’s been just over 2 months of my Patreon journey and I wanted say THANK YOU for making this a reality. I also wanted to share an update on some new content and additional rewards that I will be sharing starting next week. 

1. Thanks to Your support over the past 2.5 months, I was able to get extra childcare this summer, and invested in additional video storage tools.  As a result, I’ve been able to create longer, more in-depth video content here and on Youtube. I’ve also subscribed to VIMEO service so I can share better quality videos in a more secure way. This would not be possible without your patronage, and I am so grateful for this. 

2. NEW REWARDS - All Tiers: Starting next week, I will begin sharing shorter 3-5 min videos focusing on specific tips and tricks that I’ve discovered over the years. These will be more “digestible” and useful / applicable across different watercolor subjects. I am getting lots and lots of excellent questions from this community via Direct Messages, and I think it will be of value to share them via video with everyone.  

3. NEW REWARDS - Tier 2: For everyone who currently subscribes to Tier 2, I have some additional content coming up starting tomorrow! **I realize that there wasn’t much of a difference between Tier 1 and Tier 2 when I first started and I am so grateful that so many of your decided to go with a bigger donation anyway**. I will start providing free access to all my SkillShare classes. These are typically much more “produced” with additional materials and narration. Although I am only able to make a handful of these longer classes per year, I have a library going back to 2019, which I will make available starting tomorrow. VIMEO uploads take a while but I plan to-load the entire library by the end of next week. 

4. IMAGE SHARING: Finally, I’ve been researching a way to share your painting images here on Patreon. This platform does not allow image sharing but offers integration with another platform called Discord [for a fee]. I am not opposed to signing up for it, but I am not sure that this the best solution compared to, for example, a private Facebook group. I will do a poll to see what option would be best for all of you. If you are aware of another option - please let me know. 

This is all for now. Please don’t hesitate to reach out of you have any questions. Hope you have a wonderful day - I will be back soon with a white peony tutorial!

Thank you

Anna

Anna I just became a patron and would like to know how to access your skill share classes at no cost. Is there a coupon code? I thought going back to the beginning of your tutorials would be helpful. Thank you , Bonnie

Absolutely , a private FB group for your patreons is a good need of the hour Anna. It will be much easy and interactive for your students .

Laurel Frazer

Love the idea of a Facebook group!! Love your lessons too do glad I found you. 😀

Joana Mariano

I agree there was no big difference between the two tiers. Now I am curious about the classes you will add ;) the tips videos are a good idea too.

leona

Facebook group would be great Anna

Barb Tarcza

Glad to hear this is working out so well for you! I would prefer a FB group; I am in one for another watercolor instructor and it works out really well.

Linda Barnett

I too would prefer a Facebook group.

I just joined this month as a Tier 1 member to start. Had I known that you would be adding more in-depth tutorials to Tier 2 members, I would have signed up for that tier. How do I upgrade my membership without paying for two memberships this month?

Anna Bucciarelli

Hi Linda, Thank you for considering an upgrade. Patreon will not double charge but simply add the difference to your current pledge (i''ve seen it happen as several Patrons have upgraded without any issues). In case it does glitch (I've only seen it once due to a Patron signing up on the first of the month from a different time zone) I will gladly issue a refund as I have this option through Patreon. Thank you! Anna

Alexandra May

Thank you Anna. I'd love to see everyone's work on FB. Looking forward to the tips videos too x

Jojo

I'm on Fb under a fake ridiculous name, but Fb sounds like a better choice

Marika Roth

I just joined your Patreon group and so far love it. I think a FB page would be very nice for us to share our work. I love getting the feedback and seeing others' works.

Julie Harp

I vote for FB:) But, if you want to go with Discord, of course I will follow you there, as well!

Rita Morris

Facebook group to see members paintings

Laurie
