In so many of the paintings I love, I often find that there are little details that I’m drawn to and am able to appreciate on their own. From my video the other day, I used Golden acrylic paints and a bunch of Tri-Art acrylic mediums, sometimes using a few of them together until the vibe felt right. I really love how it turned out in the end and wanted to share some of my favorite parts of it. I hope you are encouraged to both give yourself permission to try something again AND to take the time to appreciate some of the smaller details in your own art.

I’ve had so much fun exploring the basics with you all this World Watercolor Month! I’d love to hear which skill has been your favorite eye opening moment or what has resonated with you. Feel free to expand on your choice (share something else or talk about any of the roadblocks you encountered this month) in the comments! 👇

🎨🖌️We’re about halfway through World Watercolor Month and I’ve loved hearing about all of your lightbulb moments in the comments!

July is also Disability Pride Month and I know for some due to age, illness, or otherwise that painting can be difficult. There are some devices that can help ease some difficulties. You can find a variety of grips that can help how you hold the brush, weighted holders to help the brush stay more steady, or even leaning bridges if you’re finding you’re dragging your hand in paint often or if resting your hand on the paper is uncomfortable or results in resistant areas from the oils on your hand. 
I’ve linked a variety of these devices in an Amazon list here- a.co/d/06BA2IQ0 and you can find the Blick egg handled brushes here- www.dickblick.com/products/blick-egg-handled-brush… .
If you have other tools that help you, please share for others in the comments!

🎨🖌️Happy World Watercolor Month! I’m so excited to both go back to basics with you guys as well as doing some deep dives into various watercolor topics.

Whether you’re brand new to watercolor or a seasoned veteran, I hope you enjoy this month’s celebration of all things watercolor. And though I’ll be posting quite a bit of information on here and across socials, the Patreon will have extended cuts and more detailed information to go along with many videos, too. So if you haven’t joined us over there yet but have been interested, this month could be a great chance to check it out. www.patreon.com/rebelunicorncrafts

If you have any questions about the Patreon or watercolors, let me know in the comments and I’ll see if we can cover it in a video.

I can’t believe it. In about 3 months my next book will be out and you all will be able to paint some more adorable animals with me, including Paolo the platypus, Heather the Highland cow, and of course we needed Preston- the pufferfish that started this all!

The new book has all of the things you loved from the first book: QR codes to videos and the templates, important watercolor lessons built into each painting, and illustrations to help you through all the steps and make you feel successful. So much love and joy has been put into this book and I can’t wait for it to be out and in everyone’s hands.

Just like last time, I have a pre-order gift for you and this time my publisher is helping make it even more special. Whether you've already pre-ordered or order anytime prior to its release September 22nd, you can get a bonus full real-time tutorial of Dottie the Donkey. PLUS, the first 500 to fill out the form will get a signed bookplate. And if you’re one of the first 100, you’ll also get one of the white gel pens I used int he book to add the perfect finishing touches to our little animals. And international friends, I made sure you were included too - so everyone is eligible for both the physical prizes and the bonus video.

You can find some pre-order links here: geni.us/AdorableAnimals
Or fill out the form for the extra goodies here:

Which animal are you most looking forward to painting? I’d love to hear in the comments.

p.s. sorry for accidentally posting this a bunch of times, I was getting an error earlier and it "wasn't posting" but...apparently it was. Over and over again. Yikes.

Thank you so much for those of you who were able to join in on my live for Workshop Week! You all certainly know how to make a girl blush- and read/type fast.

This week has been such a joy and definitely a great jumping off point if someone wanted to kickstart a new hobby. Which has had me wondering- how does this time of year feel for you and your ability to have time to create?!

We’re only a few days out from the start of Workshop Week 2026! My workshop will be happening on Wednesday, June 3rd at 11AM Eastern and I’ll walk you through how to paint a super cute kangaroo and its joey. If you’re joining us at 11 Eastern, I will be live with Becca afterwards, so come hang out!

There’s so many great workshops happening before and after mine. I have started taking a few of the classes because I got too excited! Check out the other classes I have taken, they were such good classes!

For those who have signed up already for this free week of fun classes, which workshop(s) are you most looking forward to?!

Workshop Week is around the corner (June 1st - June 5th) and I’m so excited for you to experience these lessons and to participate in many of them myself!

I just wanted to remind you to sign up, if you haven’t already done so, for this *FREE* week of classes on so many different topics.
You can go to 👉 beccacourtice.samcart.com/referral/rebelunicorncra… 👈 and enter your first name and email address. Then once you click to confirm with the email they send you, you’ll be ready and receiving all the updates about Workshop Week!


I also wanted to answer some common questions I saw last year:


-Is it really free? Yes! As long as you join in during the week. Each instructor’s class is available for free for 24 hours after it has premiered live. There are also 5 ‘kid’ workshops that are available all week- these are not JUST for kids, just more easily kid-friendly than some of the others.


-What are the details for my workshop? My workshop will be happening on Wednesday, June 3rd at 11AM Eastern. I’ll walk you through how to paint a super cute kangaroo and its joey. After the scheduled time, I will be live with Becca, so if you’re joining us live, come hang out afterwards!


-What if I can’t watch something at the time it is scheduled? If you want to get access to the scheduled classes beyond the 24 hours it is available, you can purchase the Vault. That gets you instant and lifelong access to all of the workshops in this year’s Workshop Week. The pricing does vary depending on when you buy, but the price is best if you take advantage any time prior to Workshop Week starting.


-Why isn’t the link working for me? The first thing I’d try is maybe changing your browser to see if that helps. And if the longform link above isn’t working, you could try getting to it from the link in my bio ( bio.site/rebelunicorncrafts) and clicking the first option.


-What supplies do I need? When you sign up you’ll get access to the supplies the instructors have recommended, but you can absolutely use what you have and not worry about using the exact same paint or brush that they might have listed.


Who else is excited about Workshop Week?! Do you want me to show you how to make the sketchbook so you can make a fun filled sketchbook during the week?

I would guess that if you’re here, creating is important to you and also may be a tool that you use to boost your mental health. When I need to decompress or a quick pick-me-up, I gravitate towards patterns in my own paintings. I’d love to know what you like to paint when you feel like you need a break!

It’s safe to say spring is here and this season makes me think of new beginnings. Whether it is new buds on trees, new flowers springing up from the ground, or moving into a new home, there’s no denying that new beginnings are all around us. I’d love to hear about any new creative projects you’re starting in this time of renewal! Let me know in the comments 👇
