HOW IT STARTED
Watercolor Connections was born during the pandemic in 2020 as a way to connect with people while quarantined. It started as 10-minute drawing sessions over Instagram Live with friends, but after a mistake with a drawing, it shifted to watercolors and Victoria fell in love with the outcome. Then, Watercolor Connections evolved into a TV show-style programming operating 2 days a week, where viewers would sit for 30 minutes while their likeness was captured live over instagram.
