Description:
Wendy demonstrates some Christmas card ideas with wet into wet watercolour background trees and silver birch and red berries in the foreground. It is a simple snow scene that could be easily adapted to suit various christmas card apertures or bi-fold card sizes.

    That is the perfect way of explaining the wet on wet/water content issue...I have been struggling with that problem for a long time. Most instructors mention it but never explain how to remedy it so clearly. Thank You!!

    Many thanks. You are such a treasure trove of information, and very generous with all you know. I am proud to say I am now the proud owner of four of your original watercolours, and count myself very lucky to do so.
