Hey Watercolor & Worship family! I've been sharing glimpses of Greece over on Facebook and Instagram — the colors, the light, the cobblestone streets — but if you really want to feel like you're HERE with me and understand what I'm creating for us... you need to go read my Substack. I am doing my best to keep a written record of where I am traveling. It's part travel diary, part creative vision, part invitation — and it goes deep on the Journey Through Greece retreat I've been building for you. It's the kind of thing you read with a warm cup of something and just settle into. ☕ Go read it here: 👉THE COLORS OF GREECE ARE GOING TO MAKE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PAINTINGS Then come back and tell me — which Greece scene are you most excited to paint? 🎨 And a gentle reminder — if you're on a Standard membership and you haven't made the move yet, now is a great time. Journey Through Greece is included in both Premium ($33/mo) and VIP ($97/mo) — or you can grab just the course as a standalone. Premium members also get your monthly live online session, devotional worksheets, curated playlist, and the full replay library. VIP adds our Paint & Share Live, a private mentoring thread, bonus downloads, early event access, and more. Whatever feels right for where you are — there's a place for you. 💕 👉Upgrade your Watercolor & Worship membership Or grab the standalone course here: Journey Through Greece

Hello beautiful community! 🇬🇷 I'm writing this from Greece. GREECE. I'm still pinching myself — this 21-day bucket list trip is actually happening, and from the moment I started planning it, I knew I couldn't experience this beauty and just... keep it to myself. That's not who I am. And this community is too special for that. So before I left, I created something just for you inside Watercolor & Worship: ✨ Journey Through Greece — a watercolor retreat ✨ Here's what it is: 🎨 I've been photographing Greece with YOU in mind — every stunning scene, every impossible color 🖌️ When I return, we'll have a retreat where I share my real travel photos as our creative challenge 📅 One live watercolor session per week throughout July AND August ▶️ All replays available in the library — no one gets left behind 🌸 Totally beginner-friendly — I'll teach basic techniques for every scene Whether you've never picked up a brush or you paint every week, this was made for you. We're going to slow down, look at beauty, and make something together — and it's going to be so good.

I'm grateful to be on this Watercolor & Worship journey with all of you, Christine

I want to do something meaningful with what God has given me, no matter how small the talent may be. A little over two years ago, our daughter was killed by her boyfriend. My heart has been shattered in a thousand pieces. However, I have known the love of God in ways I never imagined. He has been so real and present in my life. Journaling my prayers for closure, for healing, and just my need for Jesus; has helped me to begin to heal. I have a friend who lost her son, and crazy thing is... I don't know what to say. I'd like to give her this little journal, so that she might do the same and find the healing and comfort only Jesus can give. I'm praying it is worthy of gifting and that God will use it.

Testimony Tuesday! Has a piece of art — yours or someone else's — ever moved you spiritually? Maybe a painting that made you cry, or a watercolor you made during a hard season that became an anchor? Art has a way of saying what words can't. Share a painting that meant something to you — post a photo if you have one! Let's fill this space with beauty and story today. I'll go first: This work of art is from my friend, Erika Masterson, a creative genius. She is a fine art photographer who blends nature and humans in very ethereal pieces. The transparency of the layers reminds me of watercolor.
