It's a little late, but here's a recap of what my June 2026 looked like! I taught a ton of workshops, but didn't have the energy to film them all. Did some live painting at my local library. Visited the Pokemon fossil exhibit! And I also share a bit about why I've been a bit quiet here and on social media.

Hi creative friends! June is Adopt-a-Cat-Month and I've been putting out a tutorial since 2023 to bring awareness. 

This video features a fun watercolor painting session focusing on cat paws. Join me as I demonstrate how to paint these adorable kitty paw details using various watercolor techniques. We'll start with sketching the outlines and then add color, bringing these charming cat paws to life.

If you're just starting out with watercolor, you don't need the pack of 25 for $15 because it's a great deal. Instead, use that $15 to buy a few quality round brushes of various sizes. You won't regret it!
I had the opportunity to do my first Paint By Numbers kit from  @Davincifiedcom. I think my honest review will surprise you! Check out their kits and maybe you'll want to try it for yourself.
