Watercolor Workshop: Christmas Cards in December

Create a little holiday magic with handmade watercolor greetings in our Watercolor Workshop: Christmas Cards, featuring a loose evergreen tree illuminated with glowing lights against a soft, colorful winter background.

This beginner-friendly workshop introduces techniques for creating atmospheric watercolor washes, painting expressive evergreen branches, layering greens and blues, and using white space to suggest twinkling holiday lights. You’ll also explore simple splatter techniques and ways to balance loose watercolor shapes with more defined details for a festive composition.

Paint along with me step by step as we develop the background, layer the tree’s branches, and add glowing lights and playful finishing touches. You’ll leave with techniques for painting evergreen trees, blending atmospheric backgrounds, creating the illusion of light, and using these skills to design your own watercolor greeting cards and seasonal illustrations.
