Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Today I'm painting some mini landscapes with woodland and trees in winter colours. These make great Christmas card projects. I'm painting these to get ideas for this week's step-by-step tutorial which will be up on Friday and will also feature a wintry woodland.

Lovely cards ..Thankyou
I really love the misty trees! And the minimalist one with the birds. That green paper really sets off these paintings. Love Love Love!
Those are all gorgeous! Placing them on the green and gold makes them really pop! I can imahine doing that with many other colors, too. Thank you. ❤

I’m a newbie and I might be able to do these. My favorite is the forest with the snow. Love it and thank you for doing these. I would love to see more tiny paintings

I've just moved to the forest from the desert, and I will decorate my room with some miniatures of these. I think they are lovely. Thank you

Lovely, I hope you enjoy painting them - I'd love to live in the forest!
These miniature arboreal masterpieces are a delight! 🌲 I'm acutely aware that painting, talking us through what you're doing live, _and_ making sure your hands are at the right angle for us to see is quite the juggling act for you to accomplish. 😵💫🤯 Thanks so much for sharing your skills and tips with us so generously, Lou. 🤍

I love❤❤❤
Fave: Snowy grove. The way you brought light into the composition makes it a standout. Never mind the one 'blurry' tree, no one will really notice. Runner Up: Leafless trees on hill. So simple - just speaks of winter. Fantastic color! Inspiring - makes me want to give it a go! Merry Christmas!
These turned out beautifully! I like all of them very much but my favourite is the sparse winter tree one. Love the touches of gold in the larger trees as well. 😊🌲🌲🌲

Beautiful! I love these ideas. Can't wait to try them.
Thank you, I enjoyed watching your experiments today,
I like seeing you paint. 👍
My favorite is the “too busy one”. New subscriber. I paint with acrylics. I’ve always thought watercolor would be too hard. Looking forward to overcoming my fear of watercolor painting.

Thanks! I hope you enjoy watercolours, I transitioned from acrylics too - they're very different and that takes a bit of getting used to!
Thank you for this demonstration. It was lovely to hear you share your thoughts on the pieces! I'm new to watercolor so really appreciate all that you shared. 💗🙏💗🙏

I had never painted in watercolors before, but about Thanksgiving time I decided to try to paint my own Christmas cards, following KZread instructions. Painted 45 cards, using about 5-6 different designs. This was one I painted a few times and it turned out very well. Thanks for sharing

These turned out great! I wonder if you had used a gold metallic watercolor rather than the acrylic ink you would have been happier with the outcome?

Why did you do green for the sky, I like the paintings but wondering about your colour choice. X

They’re monochrome paintings, so green for everything, and I like that particular green, nothing more to it!
