Default WCW181 11/15/2023 Easy Watercolor Christmas Card-Paint A Pine Branch Ornament

Hello, hope you are ready to make a pretty Christmas card. Time is running short for getting the stacks made. This week I have a challenge I hope you will enjoy. I sure did and wanted to make more but no time yet. So, let's get out the paint and paint brushes and get started.

WCW181 GALLERY

Use Keyword: WCW181

Here's my card: WCW181

The video is Easy Watercolor Christmas Cards-Painting Pine Branch Ornament by Julia Lis Art.

Really enjoyed your lesson for today, Brenda. The artist had some really good tips on painting pine needles. Thanks.

I managed to avoid COVID for 4 years but it got me a month ago! I am still dealing with the chronic fatigue, labored breathing and plugged ears. Too many weeks away from a paint brush and I definitely feel like a newbie again . . . . .

This was a fun challenge, Benzi! I did switch it up, and decided to buck the trends and go horizontal, I just couldn't work out the vertical composition in my head.

Here's my card: Peaceful Pine
