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 these explosive flowers with me... Hey ReaderThis one's a pure joy...Honestly this is what watercolours are all about for me.

Watercolours wash away the anxiety

Wouldn't it be freeing to focus on just one thing? Hey ReaderIs it just me or do you feel this too?The urge to simplify. To bring your focus back to just doing one thing?To be completely honest with you all - some days it feels as though my head is going to pop with how much the world seems to demand my attention! 🤯And when I feel like this - I ALWAYS come back to watercolours - ALWAYS!It's part of my toolkit. Part of my grounding practice I guess. Because...When you pick up the brush and...
