Watercolor Workshop: Christmas Cards in November

Add a handmade touch to your holiday greetings in our Watercolor Workshop: Christmas Cards, featuring a softly painted evergreen tree with glowing lights, colorful splatters, and a dreamy winter background.

This beginner-friendly workshop introduces techniques for painting loose evergreen branches, blending soft background washes, creating the appearance of glowing lights, and adding playful splatters for a festive finishing touch. You’ll explore how to work with wet-on-wet and wet-on-dry techniques, preserve white space, and use simple brushstrokes to suggest the shape of a Christmas tree without painting every branch.

Paint along with me step by step as we create a soft winter background, build the evergreen tree in layers, and add sparkling details to bring the scene to life. You’ll leave with techniques for painting loose trees, creating soft atmospheric backgrounds, suggesting light and glow, and adapting these skills to handmade greeting cards and other holiday watercolor projects.

You’ll learn simple beginner techniques you can apply to any watercolor project, from greeting cards to journaling to fine art. But the benefits go far beyond technique…

Classes focus on loose, contemporary watercolor techniques that celebrate movement, color, and personality over perfection. You’ll learn to simplify shapes, embrace organic textures, and let the paint do some of the work, creating artwork that’s expressive, approachable, and uniquely your own.
Watercolor helps calm the mind. The gentle repetition of brush strokes, soft edges, and flowing pigment naturally slows breathing, eases stress, and helps quiet racing thoughts.
It’s social, joyful, and screen-free. No tech, no expectations, just time to unwind and make something beautiful.

Whether you’re brand new to painting, looking for a fun activity with friends, or wanting to explore art as a mindful practice, I would love to have you join me. No experience is needed — this class is all about slowing down, enjoying the process, and exploring your creativity in a supportive, relaxing environment.
