Hi friends! Take a break from the shopping and wrapping today and relax and paint with me at 12:30pm Eastern Time! We will use this reference photo as a starting point.

I hope you can take a painting break with me today! I went to bed early last night (9:30pm!) so I would be firing on all cylinders today! I have a few gifts to wrap this morning and knowing I get a painting break motivates me to tackle the tasks at hand. Be kind to yourself this weekend (and always) remember it doesn’t matter what’s under the tree as much as who’s around it:) Happy crafting!

PS. Need more watercolor instruction? Try a class! The Essential Tools and Techniques for Watercolor class is designed to provide all of the techniques you need to know to get started off on the right foot in watercolor painting with 5 hours of in-depth step by step instructions. Oh! and I made a coupon (HOLIDAY17) to save you 35% ! (the link above contains the coupon code)

Texture Toolbox Feathers & Fowl is the first in a watercolor texture series and is an intermediate level class. I NEVER want you to feel pressure to buy a class but if you want more in-depth instruction than I can provide in a YouTube video as well as the ability to share your work in the classroom and get feeback the classes are available. 🙂  The coupon is good for this class too! Happy Holidays!
