Dear Patrons,

I want to wish you all a wonderful holiday if you celebrate- and a Happy New Year! 🎊

This year like every year I hope that your painting journey was filled with more growth & joy. You have taken on the endeavor to learn watercolor and all its magic. However I never want you to loose sight of the fact this isn’t something anyone can master even those of us who have been painting for a long time. It’s always a chance to learn something new and see a different perspective on what you have created.

If I even get one amazing painting within the year I am happy but I am always seeking new ways to improve or grow. Art isn’t something you master even with a degree . If you notice the masters kept finding new ways to see the world around them. Without their journey Impressionism wouldn’t exist!

If you’re a beginner or a skilled painter their is always something to learn. I am forever grateful that you chose to take some of this education with me. I cannot express how much this community has given me a reason to keep creating!

I remember being so hesitant to even start a Patreon, thinking that could I even take this on or that anyone would even enjoy it! I am so glad I did. A few of you have even come along on some of my workshops & retreats which I am still baffled at. I am always in awe that you choose to spend time with me near & far!!

I am very excited for what 2025 will bring - I am doing my best to make it even more exciting on Patreon. I see such amazing growth on the posts in the Facebook group & chat here, and I have no doubt your growth will be even more amazing!

Personally I am happy to finally have my oldest home from his service as a Marine. My family is all back under one roof for a short while. I am grateful that everyone is happy & healthy. I have an exciting bucket list trip I will talk about as I get closer- that I will share.

Thank you for being a Patreon!

Best,

Ellen

Happy Holidays to you Ellen! I love your creative spirit and the ways in which you encourage each of us to explore and create using our own artistic voice. It is the biggest reason I joined your Patreon and why I stay. I have a financial and vacation goal to join you on one of your workshops or trips sometime in the near future. Blessings to you and yours.

I’m so grateful your son made it home safely. I recently used a technique to create a deeply meaningful and spiritual painting just for me. I’ll try to share it.

Christmas Greetings from Australia Ellen, I’ve been following you for a few months and recently gifted myself a Patreon subscription. I enjoy the variety of tutorials and learning experience. Thank you for your fun creative style. My confidence and skills are boosted as a beginner water colourist. Would love to have you present a retreat on the Great Barrier Reef where I live on Magnetic Island. The colours are so radiant, water, reef, trees, massive boulders, koalas and kangaroos. Warm Regards, Katy

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family.
