Aussie Christmas Card: Kangaroos and Santa!

This just in on YouTube: Paint this beach scene with me using just 4 colours. I used the white gouache to clean up some tiny bleeds around the taped edges. Masking tape creates a crisp horizon line. The stamps are from Close to my Heart. The sky dried more streaky than I intended, so I might go back in with a damp brush and clean water to soften it a bit. 

Have a marvellously creative weekend, Vicki x🎄🎨🌟🙂
 

2022 Christmas Cards: Easy Masked Watercolor Trees.

No fail Watercolor technique, perfect for beginners. These trees were a breeze to paint ( I painted the whole 3 at once! ,) if you haven’t tried the Chux magic Eraser on your Watercolor yet, you’ll be amazed to see how easy it is to fix mistakes. I used my Daniel Smith paints for this, but budget watercolour paints would work too. 

Have a marvellously creative day! Vicki 🌟🎄🎅🏼🙂
