This class will teach you how to illustrate and paint realistic-style mistletoe and candy canes using watercolor!

Throughout the class, you will learn everything you need to know to create stunning holiday illustrations, including conducting inspo research, creating a digital sketch, transferring your sketch to watercolor paper using an LED light board, and of course, completing the painting! Before each project, we’ll also work through several practice exercises to get the hang of the more intermediate and advanced painting techniques. We’ll work through each lesson step by step so you can follow along at your own pace and feel confident every step of the way. This class is suitable for artists of all levels!

If you have questions or run into challenges during class, please feel free to post them in the discussion tab below. I will be responding to questions and comments frequently.
