Katie will guide you through a series of simple, easy to follow watercolour techniques and demonstrate how to create your very own festive designs to make a set of beautiful hand painted Christmas cards.

You will be provided with a printable pack containing reference images for the session, tips, tricks and a materials guide. Your cards will be finished just in time to send out to loved ones and bring a bit of cheer during whats been a bit of a tough year to say the least!

Beginners through to practising painters are welcome - this is an opportunity to connect and paint together in a virtual setting.

For more information about the teacher click here.

For this virtual class you will need the following materials:

- A set of decent paint brushes.

- Watercolour Paper (at least 280gsm thickness, A4 or larger is best - you can buy these in pads)

- A watercolour tin set, or a set of paint tubes.

- A water glass and some kitchen roll or toilet roll (if you can find any - gasp!)

Notes on Materials:

Paper - I use Daler Rowney Aquarelle paper - it has a good texture and holds lots of water.

Paints - I use a really special set by a very old brand called Schmincke Horadam which I would recommend only for people wanting to get more professional - they are very expensive but the pigment is the best! Windsor and Newton ‘s cotman travel set is a much more affordable but good quality set . Or you can get cheaper tubes and use a plate to mix on - colours are often brighter from a tube.

Brushes: Your brush collection will grow over time when you figure out the shapes and styles you like. A set by Da Vinci is a good place to start

I always have a bigger flat brush like one of these on hand too.
