In this class, you will learn how to paint whimsical wreaths in watercolor. We'll paint several holiday-themed die-cut embellishments to create three beautiful cards.

I will be sharing how to use Viviva watercolor sheets, a dye-based watercolor along with discussing the differences between dye-based, watercolor, pans, and tubes. We'll take a comprehensive look at all forms of watercolor. Watch the introduction video for all the details. You can absolutely use the watercolors you have on hand. 

We'll splash color around and take a deeper dive into JOYFilled watercolor techniques using hot press watercolor paper:

These techniques will help us create beautiful textures and build depth of color in your wreath cards.

I’ll demystify and walk you through each technique step-by-step before we paint the final project together. 

Each video lesson breaks down the watercolor painting techniques into smaller chunks giving you the ability to follow along using the practice handout. Then, we'll put it all together and create beautiful cards.
