Hey Reader,

When I started the Art Forest, I had one simple goal: to create a place where artists could learn watercolor together, encourage one another, and enjoy the creative process.

Over the past few weeks, I've watched that vision come to life in ways I never imagined.

Our 5-week Botanical Basics course has officially wrapped up!

For the past five weeks, we've painted leaves, flowers, branches, berries, and botanicals together - one lesson at a time.

What made the course so special wasn't just the paintings. It was seeing artists from different locations from all over the world show up every week, share their work, ask questions, cheer each other on, and grow in confidence.

Watching everyone's progress has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career.

If you joined the course, thank you for trusting me to be part of your watercolor journey. It was such a joy to paint alongside you.

And this is only the beginning. I already have more workshops, tutorials, and courses planned for the months ahead.

🎉 Then something amazing happened...

This week, the Art Forest crossed 500 members.

Five hundred artists. Honestly, that number still feels surreal.

Whether you've been here since the beginning or you found us recently, thank you for being part of this little creative forest. Every painting you've shared, every encouraging comment, and every question you've asked has helped shape this community into something truly special.

To celebrate reaching this milestone, I've decided to extend the Founding Member pricing for Premium until July 11.
