welcome!

Hello and welcome! Welcome lovers of watercolor. Welcome to this brilliantly vibrant and creative community.

This tribe of ours has grown organically over the last few years, and I absolutely love that we’ve all found each other through our love of painting. In these newsletters I want to share with you my ongoing adventures as an artist living in Paris.

Surrounded by so much beauty, the rich artistic history, and the absolute renaissance of watercolor that we’re all a part of, sometimes not everything fits in the boxes of social media. I’d love to share upcoming events that I’ll be a part of, cultural experiences that I think you’ll like, a quote or two… anything I find inspiring, encouraging, and insightful. I hope you enjoy the view!

And my big news for this month is that I’m launching a Patreon page! If you’re interested in going further and deepening your watercolor practice (or if you’d just like to support what I’m doing) I invite you to check it out. Through Patreon you’ll get a real peek behind the scenes of my studio and my process, I’ll share monthly live demos, recorded lessons, and other exclusive goodies. I’m excited to have you join me.

Thank you for being a part of this artistic community! I’m so glad you’re here!

Cheers from Paris,

Alex
