I'm pleased to share some exciting news! The vibrant, bustling online community WetCanvas! is now part of our F+W Publications family—the parent company of The Pastel Journal, as well as The Artist's Magazine, Watercolor Magic, North Light Books and the North Light Book Club. If you aren't familiar with the site, go for a visit, but be warned: It can feel a bit like dropping into the middle of New York City at first, so maybe start your tour in the pastel neighborhood. To post replies and get active, you'll need to become a member, which is simple and free!
