Watercolor Animals Course

​
​

Welcome Patreon community members!

In this special page that I'm only sharing with you, I'll be uploading all of the classes and downloadables for this course, as they are being produced.

Throughout the next month I'll be working on the next classes and tutorials, so stay tuned! I'll be letting you know when each is uploaded via a Patreon post.

*Please do not share the link or the password for this page with anyone outside of the Becoming Artists community. I take a very long time preparing these special resources for you and would like to keep them exclusive. Thanks for your understanding and help with this! 

If you have any questions or comments for me, please feel free to reach out. I'm always available for you via email ([email protected]) or via a private message on Patreon.

I'd love to hear from you and am incredibly​ interested in knowing how these classes and tutorials go for you. :)
