Cardinal Christmas
Added to Favorite

Photo Details
Poster: PaperPunchScissors

 After years of coloring and creating the work of others, I finally decided it was time I did something for just me.

I have studied watercolor for many years (since I was in school) but never brave enough to try on my own. This isn't a card, although that's the next step for me. to reduce my drawing and do this on a standard card size.

To give credit where credit is due. I started following a young Canadian woman who has a Patreon Channel. What an encouragement she is! And although this is her original she has given those who follow her on Patreon the ok to learn to paint with her and she guides you through each step. I can't begin to tell you how much I've learned from her. Is this as good as her, not by a stretch! but I'm delighted and so was she.

Sincerely,
Susie aka PaperPunchScissors

Another beauty Susie, those cardinals have so much character! I bet you could scan and reduce this down to card size and it would still look lovely — you can get some decent prints with the right printer these days and it would make a lovely Christmas card design.
