🌞 Paint a summer lighthouse with me

🌞 Paint a summer lighthouse with me - free tutorial today

Published 9 months ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader

It's the second anniversary of my Patreon today. It feels rather momentous and I'm grateful to everyone who supports me in this way. 🥂🥂🥂

I've added new content added every week, and there are now over 120 posts - video tutorials, step-by-step lessons, guided challenges and detailed articles answering common questions.

To celebrate this anniversary, today I've put a free lesson - join me in painting this very pretty summer lighthouse. I explain everything in detail, so you can easily follow along. All you need to do is sign up on Patreon for free and the lesson is right there.

If you're already a patron (or on Renee's Studio), this is also my way of saying thank you. There will be the usual weekly lesson on Thursday as well. So here's to a super creative week!

This little original painting is off to Yvonne B. this month.

Stay tuned ... I'll be sending another little watercolour to someone else on my mailing list next month.
