Welcome to Discord (Patreon)

Hi everyone, I have been researching how to improve our experience of sharing our art work and improving as painters. We're currently using a hashtag on instagram and we've talked about facebook groups. I talked to the people at Patreon and they have helped me see that Discord is the best option for us as it is something they have integrated into Patreon and can make it very easy and streamlined for us all to use.

Let me first say that nothing will change regarding posting all the content and watercolour challenges here on patreon. Discord is purely set up for you to share the results of your painting. This is an optional extra.

 I've made a de Winton Paper co Discord Server for the Sweet Pea and Cherry Blossom tiers. This will be a place to share your work and have a chat with other patreons.

Discord is a separate program/app that you can have on your computer and mobile device. It is essentially a live chat room.

Don't worry. I'm a bit scared of tech and I have managed to set this up. I'm already really enjoying it and I know you will too.

As a Patron it is very simple for you to join the Discord server as Patreon does all the work for you. 

All you need to do is follow the instructions in this Patreon article. 

This will take you through creating a Discord account, installing it and connecting it to your Patreon account. Once that is done, Patreon will automatically connect you to the Discord de Winton Paper co server where you will able to share your pictures, questions and comments and enjoy a more interactive experience in a private environment.

This is all entirely brand new so there might be a couple of teething problems but we will work it out as a community. I have seen that some of you are already Discord users and Patreon has automatically added you to the de Winton Paper co patreon server so I know this works!
