{ FREE } Easy Holiday Card VIDEO TUTORIAL!
Snowberries in watercolour
Welcome to this super easy DIY HOLIDAY CARD in watercolor
I’ve always delighted in learning from nature. There is something so calm and soothing about the muted colours observed in the winter season.
That said, there is colour to be found in “white’.
Here, in this FREE tutorial, I show you how to add those subtle hues with just a hint of paint in these pretty snowberries. Guided with SIMPLE step-by-step instruction suitable for beginners + only 6 paint colours and two brushes!
I’ll even show you how to tear watercolour paper to get that deckled edge as a finishing touch!
With over 25+ years of working as an arts educator, fine artist and botanical illustrator, I will help to you create a charming greeting card that you can share with friends and family this holiday season!

One big tip, if I can give you one is invest in quality paper first. 100% cotton or "rag" paper is best. Arches 140lb cold pressed is what I use ( in bright white).
