Weeks ago, I pulled myself back to painting cards using the
watercolor primary mix theory.
Since I am surrounded by trees it made sense to keep with that theme this
holiday season.
Mailing Christmas cards is a bit of an old tradition, and I predict in 30 years it will be a faded memory. I know my own card list has been shrinking because I have lost contact with many people.
This year, I thought it was a good year to do better, so I started mixing to see what
shades of brown and green I could make.
It was fun to watercolor and simply
experience the Christmas season on paper.
I have been doing a lot of this lately and I guess you can see that I painted trees... Perhaps one day my photographs will improve as time goes on.
So much better looking in person...
We all have some sort of gift that can be
turned into handmade Christmas cards. So, maybe you don’t watercolor paint and that’s okay.
Get in the Christmas spirit this year and see what materials you have available from nature to create something unique. Perhaps ribbon or fabric is more to your liking which of course can all turn into a unique holiday card.
Make those cards and share them with someone you care about. You might even want to try your hand at watercolor Christmas card giving.
Encouraging goodness,
