As always, another great challenge this week. I'm along this watercolor journey to learn and have fun!
The video was very easy to follow and the artist was very good at explaining the technique. Sketching was the hardest part for me. As much as I tried, I just couldn't get the lights to be the same shape and size. Oh well, I'm here to learn and have fun.
I like to use my metallic paints whenever I can. So... I used gold metallic paint on the top of the lights and as a light wash in the background.
Enjoy!

Very pretty bulbs in those colors and the greenery is pretty, also. We are all on this learning journey. It was hard for me to shape the lights the same size, too. So happy you are joining us.

Wonderful painting of the lights!!!! I think your sketching is top notch along with the highlighting. We all are learning together. Happy you enjoyed doing the challenge. Thanks for sharing with us this terrific card.
Your painting is fabulous. I love how you added the greenery at the top and bottom of your painting! It's so fun to hear how others are enjoying this watercolor journey too!

Your bulbs look very uniform to me - but I know what you mean - I do as much erasing as I do sketching when drawing these things. The metallic gold bases on your bulbs really shimmer and shine which is always great for a holiday card. Good job on your interwoven wires, too.
