A Tender Year 2024 Watercolor Calendar by Alicia Paulson

A Tender Year 2024 Watercolor Calendar by Alicia PaulsonI began making small watercolor paintings during lockdown, exploring a medium that Id always been drawn to but hadnt practiced much.

Eventually I had 72 individual paintings that all found their way into this little calendar, which I call A Tender Year. I hope you enjoy it and heartily encourage you to try
