Don't miss this Watercolour Challenge Preview! (Patreon)

Hi everyone,

In a Patreon first, I'm giving you all a preview of what is coming up on the (Sweet Pea and above tiers) watercolour challenge this week. We are going to make a Victorian Puzzle Purse.

It's going to be a two parter so you can have it ready for Valentines Day but it's a beautiful little project which would work as a special card for any occasion.

In my preparation I discovered that our regular 300gsm cold pressed watercolour paper is too thick to easily fold. Instead I found an old pad of sketching paper 95gsm/65lb (pictured). It takes the simple watercolour illustrations brilliantly and most importantly, folds very easily.

So, if you would like to have a go at this project on Wednesday you will need to source some paper that's a bit thinner than our normal high quality watercolour paper. I don't think it needs to be as thin as the paper I've used but maybe have a rummage in your supplies in advance of Wednesday.

If you would like to join in for this very special Valentines Card project you can edit your membership on your account page.
