Christmas preparations are a time for fun! Time to spend a cosy winter afternoon playing with paint and pretty things… I love a bit of sparkle!

In this video I show you

• Tips for tracing designs

• How to keep watercolour reds bright and vibrant

• A pen and wash technique

• How to set up a piece of stretched paper for making a batch of cards

• How to tear watercolour paper to make a mock deckle edge

• How to add sparkle using embossing powder

and of course, how to paint some cheeky, chirpy robins!

Feel free to copy mine, but also to add your own ideas. Most importantly, HAVE FUN!
