Hi creative friend! If you've been following along, a few weeks ago I started looking at the LA neighborhood differently on my walks with Indie.

The bougainvillea vine cascading wild over black iron gates. White blooms cracking through concrete. The electric fuchsia and wild coreopsis growing on the side of the mountain that has no business being there and absolutely is.

That's what became this vibrant, colorful collection. The Collector's Boxes sold out quickly, and while I make each set of paints I hand pour extra tiles, inks, and PIGMENT BARS.

URBAN PETALS: Concrete Bloom mini collection went live in the shop last night and ICYMI there are a handful of sets left!

It comes in two distinct palettes, and they couldn't be more different from each other...

Concrete Bloom is the warm range. Deep midnight blue-plum bleeding into warm mauve, then metallic bright fuchsia and dusty rose with a shimmer through the mids, then coral and peach, landing on a warm golden ochre. Earthy and electric at the same time. This is the palette that started on a concrete wall.

Cityscape is the cool range. Bright teal-turquoise at the top, then silver-gray, a crackled stormy navy with real depth, medium steel blue, olive-taupe, and a warm khaki-gray that anchors everything. Moody and architectural. Quietly lush in a way that surprises you when it dries.

Each mini collection is hand-assembled from my studio and includes:

• Hand poured mini XL artisanal watercolor ceramic tile with 5-7 artisanal watercolors from your chosen palette
• 1 PIGMENT BAR
• 5 mL Mineral Wash Ink
• Reactive crystals (drop them into a wet wash and just watch the sparkle and color bloom)
• Mark-making tool kit
• Access to the live paint and swatch workshop in June
• Digital printable swatch cards

These are small-batch. Hand-assembled one at a time. When they're gone, they're gone. Choose your palette...

P.S. I also have a small number of extra URBAN PETALS XL swatch tile sets available separately. These are same tiles from Collector's Box development. Very limited, and they won't restock.

P.P.S. Quick update — the Cityscape mini collection nearly sold out overnight. Two left. If you've been thinking about it, now's the time. →

With creativity and color...
