Winter Watercolour Mini Scenes | Perfect for Christmas Cards!

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.

    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. 🤍

    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!
