Description
Christmas is the perfect time to create something meaningful by hand.
In this festive workshop, you'll learn how to simplify holiday subjects into loose, expressive watercolour paintings while exploring colour, light and texture.
Together we'll explore:
🎄 Painting festive foliage including holly, eucalyptus and pine
🎁 Creating simple Christmas ornaments with light and sparkle
✨ Using glazing to build glowing colours
🎨 Adding expressive brushstrokes and seasonal details
By the end of the session you'll have several finished festive watercolour paintings to take home, frame, or use as inspiration for your own holiday creations.
