I spent 4 months painting this iris, building it up layer by layer until the colors started to come alive.

This one really tested my patience and taught me so much, but it also reminded me why I love painting flowers in acrylic. I hope the lessons I learned will help you paint your own stunning blooms!

Update: soooo this posted waaaaay more saturated than it is in real life, don't know what happened there. But. The video is still really good, promise 🙃

Would you be interested in seeing me paint with more affordable, beginner-level materials?

I’ve been sent some budget-friendly art supplies to test, but I usually use professional-grade paints. I'd likely be exploring opacity, longevity and performance. Before I dive in, I want to know if that kind of video would interest you!

Monthly or one-time, how do you like to learn?

I'm thinking pretty hard about how I want to offer sketchbook tutorials, and initially my thought was as a one-time paid course where I take you through everything I know about painting in a sketchbook, super structured and focused on creating the general skillset you'd need to tackle whatever you wanted (plus bonuses, as always).

But now I'm thinking it might be more fun to have a monthly sketchbook membership club, where I do 1-2 real-time tutorials per month, with a few other perks.

What do you think? My other courses will remain as one-time payments, but since sketchbooks are living documents, I wanted to hear from you!
