Last Night's Watercolour Hangout (Patreon)

Dear Patrons, Wow, what a special time we had yesterday on the very first watercolour hang out. Thank you to everyone who joined us, particularly those of you with extreme time differences (I think Robyn in Australia was the winner with a 4am time zone!)

For those of you who missed it, let me tell you all about it. The Watercolour hang out is a live Zoom call where we all sit down together and have a go at painting three photos over the course of 2 hours. I choose a theme each time and of course we had to start with flowers. I chose photos from the Patron's Discord thread and we were so lucky to have some of the photographers in the session who could tell us the story behind the image. The big difference in this session is I'm not teaching you, I am just there as a fellow watercolour enthusiast. The screen is entirely taken up by the reference photo and it's only at the end that we share our finished pieces (if you want to).

We chatted and laughed for two hours straight and it felt WONDERFUL.

I filmed my sketchbook separately for the duration and have uploaded it here if anyone is interested to see my process. I've also attached the photos we used so you can keep painting if you wish. I didn't realise it was rotated like this...I will try and sort that!

If you were there I would love you to comment below about your experience of the session.

My plan next week is to incorporate this new feature into the membership tiers: It will go into the Cherry Blossom tier with no change to the top tier fee. I will then create a brand new tier with a price point in between Sweet Pea and Cherry Blossom called Wild Rose. This tier will have all the Sweet Pea content as well as this once a month Watercolour hang out.

So The Cherry Blossom and Wild Rose tiers will have access to this new feature.
