Mondays, February 9 – March 16 Each week we’ll focus on a different African animal—from elephants and giraffes to lions, zebras, and birds—using simple shapes, layered watercolor washes, and clear, step-by-step guidance. We’ll explore how to suggest fur and texture, capture personality through eyes and posture, and build lively color palettes that bring your animals to life. This course is designed for all levels, including beginners. No drawing experience is necessary—just a willingness to play and learn. ✔️ Each Zoom session is recorded 👉 Register here: This course is included at no additional cost for those in my Patreon Connoisseur and higher tiers. Thank you for being here and for supporting both my studio work and my teaching. I’m grateful to share this journey with you. Powered by chocolate and watercolor, P.S. Collectors often choose to inquire while a piece is on exhibition—feel free to reach out if you’d like additional information. |

Dear Reader, This weekend at Cowgirl Up! was a powerful reminder of just how meaningful it is to live with art that carries story, risk, and heart. As artists, we were invited to preview the exhibition before it opened to the public. Walking into the museum, I was immediately struck by the strength of the work. These women are extraordinary—each piece layered with experience, history, and voice. And standing among it, I’ll be honest… I felt small. As I moved through the galleries, I found...
