Get into the festive spirit with this loose, joyful holiday painting! We’re bringing the outside in with a bold, eye-catching arrangement of seasonal decorations. There’s plenty of great little techniques and tricks in this one, and we use a simple, relaxed stage-by-stage approach to tackle each part at a time so it doesn't feel overwhelming. You’ll learn how to balance detail with simplicity… ...how to suggest detail without painting every last thing (the pine needles and pine cone!)… ...and why leaving big, beautifully simple spaces can make a composition really sing! We’ll also get to play with rich, strong colour against soft, muted ones. There’s a lot wrapped up in this one, but as always, we want to balance theory and fun, because that’s what watercolour is all about! Show more
