HOLIDAY CARD TIME!
For new and current patrons, this time of year is when I begin my work on the holiday card art!
Sign up ends Nov 30th!
This year, it’ll feature some of the critters that wander through the back yard :)
Come hang out for a few months! There’s lots of behind the scenes, art videos, work in progress shots, and other odds and ends, all the way back to 2018. Patrons stick around for a while, or just a bit (some leave and come back), there are no rules, except for the card in the mail, you do need to be a patron during the months of November & December.
International is fine too! These are just greeting cards that I send out in the mail as a thank you for all the support everyone’s able to give!
This year I’ve been working with the goal of trying to figure out darker watercolors (not theme-wise, colors!). It’s always been a bit of a struggle to push things to the night side of ideas. I figure out a color combination last week that I’ll be trying out on a larger piece. This resulted in one more small deer painting, and I am making them available as prints for Patrons!
If you’d like the set, they’ll be getting sent out in the mail starting February :) Since lots of my fans are unable to make it to art fairs or conventions, Patreon is a good way to grab some small stuff for yourself.
Like behind the scenes of work, including video, sketches that don’t make the cut, and music I listen to while painting?
It’s a great way to help support creative folk like myself. Money goes towards replenishing supplies, and more importantly, giving me time to work on my own art. All tiers are great – some have mail, some have coloring pages, and all of them have my wanderings through the how & why.
I’ve currently got some art sketch spots over on Patreon!
The Branches tier is limited to 8 people a month, and right now there’s 1 spot available.
All tiers are wonderful and I’m super thankful for all the extra support. Each month, I show behind the scenes for some of my paintings, share music I’m listening too, sometimes bits of stories, as well as watercolor or drawing video. Some tiers get mail, and some have coloring pages.
Some coloring pages that are available to patrons at The Path or higher tiers! Many of them move on to become watercolor paintings.
