There’s a brand-new tutorial on the TPK Blog tod There’s a brand-new tutorial on the TPK Blog today (link in bio)! You’ll learn how to make this rugged little trifold card, complete with layered watercolor mountains and a calligraphy quote. 🏔 The concept was inspired by a gorgeous floral card from @fpmmac — I just reimagined it with a more outdoorsy feel. Per usual, I used my favorite @greenleafblue palette to paint these earthy, moody peaks. The colors make the whole project feel grounded and bold at the same time.

Full blog access is for TPK Premium members (starting at $5/month), but non-members can still view two articles/month — so you can absolutely check this one out! Every post takes me 2–3 days to create, and I fill them with clear instructions, helpful photos, and ideas you’ll actually want to try. If you like what you see, membership opens up 900+ tutorials/articles to explore!

Sometimes, the best creative projects are the ones Sometimes, the best creative projects are the ones that don’t go exactly as planned. This tree art was made with watercolors and a straw—yes, a straw! The branches take shape as you blow paint across the page, and from there, it’s all about adding leaves and a few cheerful bluebirds. 🌿💙

This technique is relaxing, a little unpredictable, and really satisfying. I hope it gives you a gentle creative reset, especially if you’ve been deep in detail-heavy work lately. 💛

You can find the full tutorial on the blog (with video + step-by-step photos)—just search “Soothing Organic Tree Art” on thepostmansknock.com, or tap the link in bio!

Something magical happens when you sit down with s Something magical happens when you sit down with someone who speaks your creative language ✨ That was definitely the case when my friend Jess of @greenleafblue joined me for a live chat with TPK Premium members! We talked about everything from watercolor quirks to sketchbooks as memory-keepers, creative balance, and the joy of going analog in a digital world.

Jess makes some of the most beautiful handmade watercolors you’ll ever find—but her real superpower might be how she talks about creativity with honesty and depth. I walked away from our conversation feeling grounded, inspired, and ready to make something. I think you will too.

🎧 You can listen to the conversation podcast-style or watch the full video—link in profile; then look for the May 13th article!

Hernán and I haven’t been back to Lima, his birthplace (and where most of his family still lives), since early 2018. Two small kids and a pandemic later, it seemed like the right time. After returning from an 8-day stay in *stunning* Miraflores, a district in Lima, I’m feeling rejuvenated; creatively, emotionally, and physically. It’s been a long time since I’ve taken a vacation, and I had forgotten how important it is to step away from everyday life for a while! 

It’s easy to put off taking a big break or a vacation when you are stuck in the minutiae of everyday life. I’m curious to hear what place motivates you to step away from the routine and get a mental reset!

Here’s a fun little trick for making personalize Here’s a fun little trick for making personalized wrapping paper: just grab a big sheet of paper and a bold marker (I used an oil-based Sharpie I had lying around). Write the recipient’s name and a greeting over and over on the diagonal—starting each new line right where the last one left off. Once you’ve filled the page, flip it over and wrap your gift. Instant charm. 🖋🎁 #giftwrapping #diywrappingpaper #handmadegiftwrap #calligraphyideas #markerlettering #easydiygiftwrap #personalizedgifts #giftwrappingidea #creativewrapping #letteringlove #moderncalligraphy #diygiftwrap #tpkstyle
One of the coolest things you can do with a pointe One of the coolest things you can do with a pointed pen isn’t write a word — it’s build a picture with nothing but flourishes. 🪶✨

This tropical parrot was such a joy to create, and TPK’s newest worksheet walks you through how to make your own version step by step. Whether you’re tracing to get a feel for the movement or freehand flourishing the final piece, it’s both relaxing and skill-building — a nice balance of creative play and pointed pen precision.

You don’t need to be a pointed pen expert to try it. Just take it stroke by stroke, give yourself permission to go slow, and enjoy the process. 🖋️

📩 DM me if you’d like the link to the worksheet! It’s free for TPK Premium members, $6 for non-members.
