Grab your brushes and join me as we paint a charming and elegant set of holiday Christmas ornaments, beautifully adorned with gold filigree and scrolling designs. We’ll work in watercolor, with the option to add ink if you love that extra detail. It’s the perfect project to slip into the festive spirit! Paint one ornament for Christmas Cards or all three for holiday decor.

This class is designed for all skill levels—whether you’re a newer painter with a bit of experience or a seasoned artist with a well-loved palette, you’ll create something you can feel proud of. Let your creativity roam free, enjoy the process, and pick up fresh tips and skills to expand and sharpen your knowledge along the way.

While I do provide a color photo for reference, along with a full pattern and a traceable version, this piece is really about sparking your creativity. I want you to paint freely — no stress, no second-guessing where your brush lands. There’s truly no wrong way to add scrollwork and filigree to attain a beautiful piece. It’s all about tapping into your right brain, letting your imagination lead the way, and watching your creativity flow straight from your mind to the brush.

As we paint together, I’ll walk you through each step with clear explanations and real-time close-up videos so you don’t miss a thing. And here’s the best part, you’re in control! You can pause, rewind, or change the speed to make the lessons fit your pace. The techniques you pick up and skills you sharpen won’t just help with this project, they’ll spill over into your future artwork, helping you paint with more skill, confidence, and creative flair.
