Thank you for a beautiful class.

I am so excited to participate in your class! I haven't finished my painting yet but I made this wreath for the reference.

I have to prepare canvas for it yet and get to painting!

 Update: That is how it ended up looking like

I didn't find bells. Yours looks awesome!

So festive! And pine cons on your painting look 3D. 

I used an opportunity to paint from life.

The steps of your painting process helped me alot. I also did it in stages.

And I kept underpainting as a background. Which was pretty close to the board under my wreath.

It was challenging to paint needles. I struggle to make thin line with acrylics. I used actual pine needles at the end to make prints. It helped a bit.

My phone changes colors of the painting depending on the lightning conditions. 

Thank you for inspiration!

Merry Christmas to you and your family!
