Hi everyone, welcome to June. June is Ant’s 40th birthday month, and just like I had an extended festival of celebrations last year, so too is Ant so it’s a month full of fun things on the horizon! 

News

We have a 7 day FREE TRIAL of the Cherry Blossom tier available throughout June. Click here to try it out. It’s well worth trying to see all the extras on offer! Please note that you will be charged for your membership in 7 days if you continue to stick around and your future monthly payments will renew on that same day each month. Have a look at our livestream dates at the bottom of the message and you could time your trial to catch one of those.

So many of you enjoyed my Chelsea Vlog. In that video I used the Fuumuui Watercolor Travel Sketchbook Set which you can get 10% off with the code Harriet.

I have a June Rose Series throughout this month with 7 rose tutorials in long form (short versions on social media) for you. I really hope you enjoy the challenge, as rose painting is indeed a challenge. I’ve avoided too much rose painting in the past because it was a flower that worried me: I often got very different results. However, it just turns out that a bit of consistent practise results in more consistent roses! What a surprise!

Our retreats launched last week for a Safari in South Africa with painting sessions in between game drives and an Uptrek retreat in Ireland with a full week dedicated to painting the flowers, the gardens and a sweet little cottages on the incredible estate we’re staying on. I know a number of you have booked on so thank you and I look forward to painting with you next year!

I managed to do all of last month's You Pick, We Paint requests apart from Meadowlark’s and Nightingales. These are going to be top of the list for June.

Hi Harriet! Thank you for putting my suggestion in the You pick We paint. Didn’t you mention in the May bulletin that we would do room interiors.

Ann

Ooo that 7 day trial has come just right for me. I'll follow your suggestion and time it over the class time. Can't wait. Thank you 😊

Suzannah Rowley

Hi Harriet, this is such a gorgeous post! All your work is so stunning 💓 I just wanted to ask if the free trial for the top tier is only open to new members? I've tried upgrading membership to the 7 day free trial on the top tier but it isn't folding the trial. No trouble if it's for new members, I just wanted two check. Thank you!

Uta

Hi Harriet, I tried the link for the trial of the 7 day free Cherry Blossom tier, but it didn‘t work. I rececently changed my password. Can this be the reason ?

de Winton Paper co.

Yes but it’s not fitted in with everything else just for now so it’s still on my list

Pearl Clint

Hi Harriet after many days of trying to upgrade and access your site finally at last, lots of cheers, have managed it TODAY but am still not able to the access the level I think I requested. My paintbox is ready my brushes all waiting to go so hope to start next week. Looking forward to doing your latest designs and making more progress. Thank you so much for sharing your skills and your lovely artwork. Christine

Hi Christine, your membership will tell you what tier you are on. The most hands on one is the sweet pea tier

Phyllis

When will the rose tutorials start? I’m so excited for these!

Kathryn Chandler

Hi Harriet I am already a sweet pea member but last week I signed up for the free trial for Cherry Blossom . I have really enjoyed seeing the livestreams and the hangouts but sadly I cannot afford to continue . Please can you revert me back to Sweet Pea. Hopefully you didn’t take any money from me . I also hope that I will be able to afford to upgrade sometime in the future as I love your sessions . Many thanks

Hi Kathryn, I can't edit individuals memberships. It is down to you to do that on your account page. I personally dont take any money, but as I stated in the description of the free trial you will get charged after the seven days on that tier if you don't cancel it. Please ask Patreon customer service if you have any more difficulty.

Kathryn Chandler

Hi Harriet , Thank you for your prompt reply . I am upset that I had money taken from my account . I hope the problem is sorted out soon . I took up the offer on Friday 5 th and cancelled it via you yesterday . I am afraid I was unclear how to access the offer and cancel it . I sent the following to Patreon today .FYI . To Patreon “Good afternoon I was a Sweet pea member of Harriet de Winton . Last week she offered a weeks free membership of the Cherry Blossom tier as a trial . I opted for this but instead had my membership altered to Cherry Blossom and had £192.20 taken by Patreon out of my account . On her site it said I would only be billed if stayed on longer than the week . I contacted her yesterday to say that I didn’t wish to proceed and this was her reply :- Hi Kathryn, I can't edit individuals memberships. It is down to you to do that on your account page. I personally dont take any money, but as I stated in the description of the free trial you will get charged after the seven days on that tier if you don't cancel it. Please ask Patreon customer service if you have any more difficulty. I am very confused Please can you cancel my Cherry Blossom membership and re emburse me and return me to the Sweet pea tier that I was on . At the moment I don’t think I am on any tier . I look forward to hearing from you asap as I am very worried . Many thanks Kathryn Chandler” I hope that this will be sorted out .i have just sent you this to keep you informed

de Winton Paper co.

Hi Kathryn, I'm going to private message to you to explain the steps you can take to sort this out.

Kathryn Chandler

Tried it on the trial and it is great . Highly recommend.
