Hello sunshines!

I just have to share this sweet little moment that happened recently. We had a lovely guest in our Airbnb from England, newly retired, and on her way out she peeked at my studio and gasped, “Oh wow, it’s so colourful and inspiring!” Then she confessed she’d always dreamed of painting but felt too shy to even try. Of course, I had to let her know what I truly believe: absolutely anyone can learn to paint! It’s just like learning a new language—one brushstroke at a time.

If you’ve ever felt that little flutter of “I’d love to give it a go, but I’m worried I’ll be no good,” my Jump into Acrylic Inks course is the perfect place to dip your toes in (pun intended!). It’s short, playful, and a brilliant way to take those first steps, no matter how hesitant you feel.

We’re all beginners at some point, and I adore watching people realize just how much fun art-making can be—especially once they realise there’s no right or wrong in creativity, just a whole bunch of colour and possibility. So come join me, set aside any nerves, and let’s do this together!

Lots of love,
Tracy xx
