🎨 Catch Up on the Studio Replay – Color Stories, Swatching Rituals & AI Inspiration

Reader...

Hi creative friend! If you missed the recent livestream, I shared a full behind-the-scenes look at my latest seasonal paint drop: the Beachcomber: Tidal Echoes Collection—plus swatching demos, creative brushwork, and how I use AI as a collaborator in the ideation process.

It’s packed with creative tips, unexpected color stories, and a walk-through of my latest handcrafted paint collections including Bohemian LOVE, INKatelier mixing inks, HOLIDAY sugar plum fairy, and SEVEN. You’ll also get a sneak peek at some of the SPRING SURPRISE MIX boxes, SPRING mini grab bags and upcoming studio updates.

Here’s what you’ll see in the replay:

  • Behind-the-scenes story of how the Beachcomber Collection came to life
  • Live swatching of handmade watercolors, inks, and pigment bars
  • Brush demo: Silver Brush triangle + dagger techniques for floral motifs
  • My favorite tools for watercolor and ink layering
  • How I use Ideation PLAYground to co-create color palettes
  • Sneak peek of the Studio Storyboard: Creative PLAY + AI-powered Ideation Workshop
