What I Used

Winsor & Newton watercolors. Arches Bloc Aquarella 140lb Cold Press watercolor paper. 11cm x 16cm. One-off card.

My Inspiration

Christmas is not just white, but very colorful instead. Red, Green, Gold, Silver, Brown, ...... So, Christmas decoration is my theme.

This is the first year that I painted Christmas cards for my friends. I painted around a dozen and the feeling is really good. I sent them off two days ago and now I start getting "thank you" note from my friends. While technology is part of our daily nowadays, it feels really great when we get back to the basics!

Graphic ideas come from photos in the internet.

Advice

  • Bold colors would look great for festive.
