A Tiny Watercolour Christmas
The supplies you will need
For all six Christmas cards, cut six 9 × 9 cm squares of watercolour paper for your paintings and six 10 × 20 cm pieces of card for the bases. Fold each base in half to make a 10 × 10 cm card. I used Canson Imagine 300 gsm paper, an affordable option you can paint on with watercolour, and some coloured paper for variations.
I kept the colours simple with my Sennelier Aqua Mini palette and used a size 2 pointed round brush and a size 4 Princeton Neptune brush. For the little details, I used gold paint from Skrim Watercolours, gold and white Uni-ball Signo pens and a 0.1 fineliner. You’ll also need a pencil and eraser, a cotton bud, two pots of water, some tissue and a microfibre cloth.
Use what you already have to paint along. If you’d like to see the exact supplies I used, you’ll find the links below.
