Here’s what you’ll learn:
Layering Paint Effectively:
Learn to create reflected light and rich colors in this holiday card by layering cool and warm colors. In this lesson, I will guide you through painting holiday lights using just a few colors and lots of paint and water to add depth and softness to your holiday lights.
Getting your paints dark enough:
In this video, I will focus on mixing very rich, dark paints to bring the lights of your snow out and make it look like the snow is sitting on the branches and making them stand out.
Working with Wet Paper:
Explore the magic of watercolors by letting the paint flow and blend naturally on very wet paper. This technique is at the heart of watercolor painting, and in this lesson, we will create a dynamic card while embracing the medium’s unique spontaneity.
I encourage you to practice these techniques repeatedly. Painting a little bit each day will solidify your progress and help you improve faster by learning from each brushstroke.
What’s Included:
Three step-by-step videos, each about 15 minutes long, guiding you through a simple holiday card painting where you will learn a different technique each time.
Once you have registered, you will recieve line drawings to help you get started right away. You will be able to print these drawings and then easily trace them onto your watercolor paper.
Unlimited access to the videos where you can start, pause, and replay the videos as often as you would like. You will have access to the videos and drawings for 2 years, giving you lots of time to practice.
Bonus Video:
You will recieve a behind-the-scenes look at how I set up my watercolor painting station for an organized workspace!
