Come and Join Me on Patreon
If you enjoy seeing how my artwork comes together, fancy having a nose through my sketchbooks, or just want a little extra creative inspiration, I’d love to welcome you over on Patreon.
It’s where I share the things that don’t always make it onto Instagram – the messy middle, the experiments, the little wins, the occasional flop, and some other things too. As time goes on I hope to add some video content including some tutorials.
You’ll also find digital downloads, creative resources and chats about what it’s really like trying to build a creative business.
A Little Heads Up…
Patreon is still very new for me.
I’m at the beginning of building something I hope will become a lovely little space of the internet for artists and art lovers alike. That means you’ll probably see it evolve over the coming months as I discover what people enjoy most and what I enjoy creating.
I quite like that though. It feels a bit like inviting people into my studio rather than opening the doors to something that’s already perfectly polished. If you know me you’ll know that I’m not typically a ‘polished’ person…
What’s There Already?
You’ll find a mixture of things, including:
- Monthly intentions
- Downloadable collection planner (ideal for artists, pattern designers and illustrators)
- Downloadable painting template and guide
- Art in the Park – what it is and how it went when I had a screen at my local open air art art gallery
- Instagram screenshots and plans as I’m trying to grow my Insta following
No two months will look exactly the same at first, because my creativity doesn’t really work like that!
Memberships
🌑 New Moon (Free followers)
If you’d just like to follow along, the free membership is a great place to start. I’ll occasionally share free posts and downloads, and you’ll get a feel for what Patreon is all about. As my Patreon grows you may be tempted to move up a tier to…
🌓 Half Moon
This is where we really start creating together.
You’ll get access to tutorials, behind-the-scenes content, process videos, downloads and creative inspiration.
🌕 Full Moon
If you’re interested in the business side of being an artist as well, this tier includes everything from Half Moon, plus more in-depth posts about licensing, marketing, pricing, income streams and what I’m learning along the way.
I’m very much learning as I go, so I’ll be sharing the wins, the challenges and everything in between.
Is It Right For You?
You’ll probably enjoy it if you:
- Love seeing artwork from sketch to finished piece.
- Enjoy watercolour, drawing or surface pattern design.
- Enjoy digital art – I mostly use procreate and Adobe Illustrator but I dabble in other things too
- Like learning alongside another artist.
- Appreciate downloadable resources.
- Fancy a bit of extra creative inspiration each month.
A Few Questions
Can I cancel anytime?
Absolutely. Stay for as long (or as little) as you’d like.
Do I get access straight away?
Yes! As soon as you join, you’ll be able to browse everything that’s included in your membership tier.
How often do you post?
I aim to keep a regular calendar but to start with I’ll keep some things a little bit flexible. I’d rather share something genuinely useful or inspiring than post just to tick a box. My goal is 4 – 6 posts per month (not including my monthly intentions and calendar).
I’d Love to Have You Along
If any of this sounds like your sort of thing, I’d love for you to join me.
Whether you decide to stick with the free membership or support my work through one of the paid tiers, thank you for being here. Every bit of encouragement means a lot, especially while this little corner of the internet is finding its feet.
If you’re not too sure yet why not sign up to my email list so every month you see an overview of what I have posted on Patreon – just to keep it on your radar.
I hope to see you over there!
