Christmas is the perfect time to show tangible love to your family and friends. And What could be a better gift than a hand made art piece that relives precious, timeless memories? Paintings that will speak personally to one’s heart!         

In this class, we’re going to master the expressive style of painting with watercolor through painting four interesting holiday plots that will surely relive your fond memories of Christmas. What I love most about painting in loose and expressive style is that it’s focused on bringing out the essence, the mood of the picture rather than a reflection of real life.

 To start I’ll share the right materials to get you need from choosing the right paper, appropriate brushes and colors combinations to use.

For our first project, We will learn to paint a glowing lamp post on a winter night setting.

 Then we will practice drawing a little girl’s figure and convey a soft, atmospheric background.

Next, we will paint a misty winter landscape with puppies gazing out of the window and lastly, we will create a loose family portrait and explore ways to use it as a gift idea or holiday gift tag.

By the end of the class, you will have a better understanding of how to paint in a loose and expressive style plus you will have 4 heartwarming artworks that you can give as a gift or use as a card this Christmas!
