Hi all. Steve here, still reeling a little from the effects of Hurricane Helene. We're doing ok. All our family is safe which is more than I can say for many others. Our house was graciously preserved. We're still out of power and internet. I'll leave a link to a video that Marty kindly made for me. I hope to be making a video update of my own shortly. I had a video almost ready to go last week but that's obviously on hold. It's coming. Thanks so much for everyone's prayers and concern. I'll see you all soon.

Hey Minders! In honor of #WorldWatercolorMonth , Lebenzon Brushes is extending his 20% off offer for all brush orders through the end of July. Use code MIND at checkout to receive the discount.

I especially love the goat and synthetic blend brushes for watercolor. Here is one of my favorite videos using that brush.

Hey Minders. My wife and I are about to celebrate our 45th wedding anniversary with a vacay in Arizona and at the Grand Canyon. BUT...just a heads up. If you've been looking for the right opportunity to buy a quality, handmade Lebenzon brush, he is offering a fairly rare 20% discount on all purchases in June (please use code MIND at check out). In case you're not familiar with his brushes, I did a review a while back so take a look. You'll also see them pop up in various videos.

Hey all. Just a heads up that I will be attending PACE this year. (See the video link if you're not familiar). It's the first time it will be held east of the Mississippi and it's actually within comfortable driving distance for me in Cherokee, NC. I'm not faculty. I'll be there just to relax, learn, paint and have a good time. I hope to bring you updates as to where I am and what I'm doing on my instagram (@mindofwatercolor) so look me up if you'll be there too.

Hey Minders! Say hi to the newest, official brand ambassador for Arches Watercolor Papers. I'm beyond excited to have been asked since Arches has been the most premiere and consistent art brand I've used for anything art related since I started painting. My first watercolor instructor insisted on it for the class and it's still my favorite paper 40 plus years later. As my first video in that role, make sure to check out my spontaneously painted ornaments tutorial all made from just one painting. It's an easy and fast way to gift your watercolor art this Christmas without spending a lot of time and fuss! https://youtu.be/pcdC9onYeZo

My Live Demo with Etchr this past Saturday to kick off my new landscape class with Etchrstudios.com is in the books. Had a blast painting and answering questions. In case you missed it here is a link to the recording. All the links are there too to sign up for the class.
