Make cards, gift tags and bookmarks with a seasonal or festive theme, in this relaxing and easy to follow watercolour class.
Unlike more focused watercolour painting, we will be using a blending method to create an all-over colour wash in a variety of chosen colours, depending on the seasonal / festive theme chosen.
Whether you decide to go with an autumnal, winter, spring or summer theme, the method is exactly the same and the techniques learned can be used to make cards to celebrate different cultural festivals.
It’s a lovely follow on from my last class - Stylised Botanicals; Colour Choices and Composition Made Easy, as it uses the same botanical shapes, and some similar techniques, (see the link below).

In that class we painted directly onto paper with acrylic paint, here we will be using a different medium and introducing collage. I have chosen autumn as a theme, however, you can adapt the colours and shapes to any season / festival throughout the year.
It is suitable for all levels, from complete beginner, to those of you with more experience, and you can use any watercolour paints you already have.
