Intrigued, I took it into my hands, and with the first stroke, I felt a surge of energy, a connection to something beyond the canvas.

Embracing my superpower

Entering the retreat felt like the start of a superhero origin story. "Find Your Superpower" became the guiding mantra, urging me to heed my inner voice and recognize my unique superpower. Each exercise brought a surge of empowerment, setting the stage for increased confidence. On day 2, "Trust in Your Ability" echoed as wisdom in pre-recorded videos. Pre-recorded videos unveiled the wet-in-wet technique, urging me to trust the process and my instincts. On the final day, "Growing Your Superpower" came alive with a full floral composition—a vibrant fusion of techniques. I realized my superpower wasn't a single stroke but a harmonious symphony

Meet your guide

Hello, I am Jillian

Also known as krafty fox

I am a watercolor artist based in Singapore. My 24/7 job is a mother - and I think in watercolor.

My 5 year old would tell you that “my mummy is a painter”.

Painting is a space that I have carved out for myself in the busyness of motherhood. Specifically, painting flowers reminds me of how brief seasons are - just as how each season in motherhood is fleeting.

I believe that watercolor is an art that is best learnt by sharpening your skills instead of following steps

Let me simplify and break down the steps in watercolor to help you go from feeling discouraged, frustrated and making little progress - to gaining trust and clarity in the process.

By the end of Brush and Bloom Watercolor Retreat
