To my dearest Patrons, 

Here we are at the year's end - another bizarre year that has thrown us all into extraordinary circumstances - and we (Myself, Ant and Crumble) want to send you so much love and thanks for joining our painting community and forming what feels like an extended family.

I am so grateful that I can use this platform to spread the therapeutic and immensely satisfying qualities of watercolour painting, but what I love the most is learning from all of you: each and every one of you is on your very own creative journey and it's a genuine privilege to see you develop, be creatively inspired and come up with your own ideas and compositions. 

I have just posted the last watercolour challenge of the year and we have one last Cherry Blossom livestream on Saturday and then it is time for a little break. My hope is, if you are keen to paint in the festive break then there are so many watercolour challenges to revisit, livestream recordings and Instagram saved highlights to watch so you won't get bored. 

Those of you who are on the Discord server (Cherry Blossoms and Sweet Peas) I hope you will continue to share your painting progress and general daily musings in there.

We have covered so much ground this year and I'm excited for what 2022 brings. Ant and I are going to do a bit of a debrief to see what worked and what didn't and make sure we are offering you as enjoyable a painting service as possible. 

We will be back the week beginning January 3rd 2022, so for now all is left to say: 

T H A N K  Y O U !

We hope you have a happy and peaceful December and we wish you a happy new year and see you on the other side!

Lots of love Harriet, Ant and Crumble xxx

Such a lovely, heart-warming photo. Thank you for your beautifully explained, inspirational tutorials, Harriet. Wishing you, Ant, Crumble & fellow painters across the world a happy Xmas & a brighter 2022

Thank you Harriet! Happy holidays to the three of you. Your instruction has meant a lot to me. You're a wonderful teacher.

Jane Jackson MBE

Happy Christmas to you all as well, thank you for all you do to keep us focussed on a more positive side of life, when we are bombarded by negative stuff. It has certainly been a difficult couple of years for so many people, and you have been light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you.

Wow guys it's such a pleasure to see you this morning! <3 I would like to say that I joined your Patreon this May as I remember exactly. But it was the most important step for me because after I did it my progress started rising up. And I should say a huge THANK YOU for this to you. Harriet for your amazing ideas, wonderful teaching style and Ant for your filming and wonderful videos. And Crumble just for being here and showing his fluffy nose everywhere or voice addition sometimes in Harriet's lessons :)))) This is amazing but yeah we feel like a big family and I would love to bring this fantastic feeling to the next year with all of you, guys. Love you all <3

A big thank you for your videos, teaching skills and wonderful talent. You are truly an inspiration and I've grown so much this past year in my WC efforts. I've painted more from of your tutorials than anyone else I follow but probably am a bit "above my level" for some of the challenges but that's okay. I still love your work, your style and your method of teaching - You're the best. Have a wonderful holiday and time off with your family and so look forward to see what you have in store for us Patrons in the new year.

Merry Christmas Harriet, Ant & sweet Crumble! Thank you for all the hard work you’ve put into your Patreon and YouTube channel, you make a fantastic team! I started painting in mid January and discovered you in June, I’ve learned and enjoyed my time with you and can’t wait to learn and grow in my painting. Thank you for giving us something wonderful to look forward to in 2022! May you have a safe and happy new year❣️

Dear Harriet and Ant, thank you both so much for all your hard work and support. Learning to paint watercolours with you since lock down started next year, has been a wonderful experience and incredibly relaxing and therapeutic. This year because of you, I had the confidence to paint and have printed my own christmas card design. I'm looking forward to sending it to family and friends! Wishing you both a very happy and healthy Christmas break, well deserved! Look forward to seeing you in the New year, love and hugs Jo xxx Ps. Happy Christmas to Crumble too!! Xx

Thank you for taking the time to share your talent with us. I'm enjoying the ride myself, 🙂. Happy holidays! May 2022 brings us good health, love, and success 🤗

Emilie

Dear Harriet and Ant, The thoughtfulness with you plan and execute each video has made a huge difference to my progress. Everything is so clearly explained, and the videos are perfect. And I'm one who loves Crumble's audio interruptions - our Corgi is always at my feet and perks his ears up whenever Crumble 'speaks'! Wishing you health and laughter and love in 2022! - Emilie

Theresa McAvoy

All the best to you and your husband and to Crumble too. I love your work and style. You've inspired me a lot. Have a wonderful holiday break. Merry Christmas, Happy 2022. Let 's hope times will be better for all in the coming year. ❤️❤️

Teresa Collard

What a lovely family photo. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Marie Folkes

Gosh, you thank us?! Crazy lady - you're such a generous teacher, I've done so much painting this last 14 months and come so far - with such a huge part of it being down to you, so thank you so much. So glad you're taking a break, catch up in the New Year, Merry Christmas!💜woofs from Lottie and Poppy to Crumble🐶

Peggy Elliott

Love your photo! Thank you so much! I don't really share much, but should to let you know how much I appreciate you! Have a wonderful, happy Christmas and a wonderful New Year. <3 Peggy

Sharon B Aiken

Thank you so much for the great effort you make and all of your teaching. You bring a beautiful, gentle light to my world. I'll look forward to January.

Tina Moore

Merry Christmas to you, Ant and Crumble! It's been great painting along with you this year. I love the way you explain what you are doing in ways we can follow (or at least try to 😂) . Such a talent, enjoy your well deserved break ❤️❤️

Cynthia Long

Thank you for a lovely year of painting and fun. I've learned so much and love your style. Happy Holidays! P.S. Your background music has become a soothing, relaxing, part of the process. My biggest hurdle in learning to paint with watercolor has been my speed. I'm reminded that I need to slow down even when I'm worried the paint will dry. The music helps!

Sally

Thank you to you all. I’ve learnt a lot from your tutorials and have greatly benefited from the mini daily tutorials of the Advent Calendar. I am very happy to become a ground level Daisy Patron of your channel and look forward to learning even more in 2022! Thank you so much. Sally

Paula

Thanks for your guidance this 2021.

Connie

What a lovely picture of the three of you❣️ Happy New Year 🎊🎈 Looking forward to spending time creating with you again in 2022!!!

Marti Rodolfo

Thank you so much Harriet, for your kind instruction, encouragement, direction, advice, and support! I've found such joy in painting this year - I never thought of myself as artistic, but you're bringing the artist in me out. Much love to you, Ant, and that noble beast, Crumble.

Mahira

What a happy picture of the three of you! Crumble is a darling...he looks amazingly like my last beauty of a handsome Labrodoodle called Draco. Its the the eyes , isn't it. he saw right through me and loved me anyway.
