During the Creative Process
A painting video for you ❤️
Not everyone loves a good watercolor.
But they would if they understood the magic of painting it in their journal.
Which is why I’ve clung fiercely to the idea…to the point of creating an entire course on it (Postcards from Paris) and having it, along with oil painting, as part of my monthly creative membership Flow (which opens April 4 for enrollment)
Every painting is different. I thought you might enjoy the unique experience of seeing how just one of mine comes together.
This is a first for me….sharing one of these video tutorials.
It’s part of my exclusive Flow Membership content, so it will be available to view for a limited time only.
Note: This video includes the painting portions, Parts 2 and 3 (Part 1 is the drawing portion, which I chose not to include as I wanted to get you to the color quicker!).
If you think I am tempting you to join me in Flow, you would be correct.
If you think I am tempting you to do something creative, you would be doubly correct.
Take good care of yourself, dear one.
Be kind to you. You are irreplaceable!

P.S. When in doubt, make something—anything. You will feel better. I’m sure there’s a science behind this, but all we need to know is that it works. Feeling blue? Make something. Future uncertain? Make something. Feeling lost and off-track? Make something. Let me know how it goes—we need each other!

P.P.S. Somehow, when I write, I always feel gratitude for you. For your attention, for you reading my stuff, for just being here. It means a lot! You can receive my letters straight to your inbox by subscribing here. (My letters are free, of course!)
Is postcards from Paris part of the FLOW? I am considering coming back. Or doing the postcards class separate. Please advise.
Postcards from Paris is not part of Flow Membership. It is a course and you can check it out at this link😊

I took 2 of your oil color courses awhile back! I loved them, you and your work. I so enjoyed this watercolor class. Thank you for this and being in touch! I am close to retiring and look forward to dive back in and learn more from you❤️ best, gloria
Yay for having more time for yourself!! Thanks for the sweet comment!😊😘
Merci pour cette démonstrations d’aquarelle.
C ‘est important de vous regarder
Je suis intéressée par votre formation en peinture à l huile.
Mais je n’ai pas encore vu une petite démonstration à l huile.
Je n’ai pas de website pour l’instant
Thank you….I really enjoyed watching you create.
thank you, I took a year with you a while back and really enjoyed it, I have since retired from banking and paint all the time. I mainly do oils but have painted in watercolors while i travel. I do plein air events as well. your videos in journaling really helped me with that, I just got back from Mexico and sold several right off the pad and even gave a few away to grandmothers and one person that had rented a villa from me. It really does bring you joy to share your art. I loved watching this video and may sign up later this year for one of your oil paintings classes. always trying to get looser. thank you for all that you do to help us be more creative.
