Something new is beginning


I don't want to do this on my own...

Hey Reader

I'm hosting my Spring Floral Watercolour Workshop on March 21st and I'm hugely grateful as it's all sold out.

I'm truly excited to share the day with everyone who's booked on and it's made me realise something...

There's just as much joy in watching someone else discover the beauty of watercolours than just painting them alone...

And...Over the past few months, through growing creative community, I’ve received so many messages from people saying similar things...

“I wish I could paint regularly… but life gets in the way"
"I'd love to learn alongside other creative folk"
It's much more rewarding when I paint in a group"

And honestly, I understand these thoughts and feelings deeply.

I crave a creative community. You know, finding your tribe who are just slightly quirky or unique. Those people who feel like they 'get you'. It's so important for our well being and our creative discovery...

And as the wise, but overused saying goes...

"Be the change you want to see in the world"

So I’m in the middle of creating something gentle and ongoing - a calm creative space where we could paint together each month.

No pressure.
No judgement or comparison
No guilty feelings if you just can't make it one week
No expectations. No massive commitment

Just a place to play - guilt free.

I’ll share more very soon, but for now if this sounds like a space you are ready for just now - head over and drop your details.

Til next time,
Sue 🎨💛

Paint messy with watercolour

This one is just about the colour'... Hey ReaderI noticed an IG reel this week showing how our world is losing its colour!!I know right...What used to be super colourful - think old cars - they used to be bright yellow, orange, even brown (Yuk! My friend's first car was a brown nova called toffee!! Even our clothes and buildings are becoming more neutral - boring! 😂Even Apple's brand logo...Once multicoloured, now white!How does this idea make you feel? I'm not sure I like it!Colour plays...

watercolour masters 2026

It's so important to surround yourself with your 'arty tribe'... Hey ReaderSo, this week I was lucky enough to take two days out and head up to Shropshire for the International Watercolour Masters...I did a workshop with Watercolour Master Bjorn Bernstrom - That's me and Bjorn up there in the photo (Me looking pretty chuffed, him a little confused) 😂 But the thing is...As much as the workshop was great, and the techniques and skills I learnt from him were invaluable - he wasn't the most...
