Get into the holiday spirit and create something truly personal this season! Join me for a fun and inspiring Watercolor Holiday Cards Workshop, where you’ll design and paint three original watercolor cards to share with family and friends.

About This Course

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll explore watercolor techniques such as wet-on-wet, glazing, and masking to reserve whites and build depth and texture in your artwork. I’ll provide beautiful holiday-themed reference images, and you’ll paint along step-by-step to create your own set of festive cards.

Whether you’re new to watercolor or looking to expand your creative skills, this class offers a relaxed and encouraging environment to learn, paint, and celebrate the season.

Materials

Basic materials for this class include:

• 140lb / 300gsm watercolor paper
• Basic watercolor paint set
• Watercolor brushes: rounds #4, #6, #10 or #12, and a rigger brush for details
• Low-tack masking tape
• Masking fluid
• Black ink liner (Micron 0.3 or 0.5, or Faber-Castell equivalent)

You can make your cards simply by folding watercolor paper in half, or use ready-made watercolor postcards—both work beautifully.

A detailed materials list will be emailed to all participants one week prior to class.
