New Christmas Card Design

This week one of my watercolor classes wanted to work on a project that could be completed in one class. Most of the class projects take two classes to complete. So, I pulled out a drawing I did a couple of years ago but never used. We worked together to develop the painting on a greeting card. The most important lesson I hope they took away from the class is that they can take any line drawing and develop a painting from it. They don't need to have detailed instructions for everything they wish to paint. These students have taken classes with me for a couple of years, so they are not beginners. It is time to stretch their creative muscles.
