Description

Make this Christmas a watercolour wonderland with this creative guide to painting through the festive season. Christmas is the perfect time to get creative with watercolours with lots of handmade cards to paint - but cards are only a small part of the ideas that you will get from this book. Here you'll find a wealth of inspiration and techniques for all sorts of watercolour projects this Christmas! First, the book covers the materials and equipment you need for watercolour painting - from paints and brushes to paper and other materials such as masking fluid and watercolour ground.

You'll then learn how to create both traditional and contemporary colour palettes for Christmas, and discover a wide range of watercolour techniques including washes, layering, blending and gradation, plus experimental ideas to try such as using salt, bleach and masking fluid in your work. Twelve creative projects follow, with easy-to-follow step-by-step tutorials so that even beginners to watercolour can jump right in. Learn how to paint your own Christmas cards, gift tags and gift boxes, create seasonal table settings, hand-painted Christmas crackers and garlands, and unique hand-painted Christmas gifts including a watercolour wreath.

Using innovative but accessible watercolour primer products, you can now prepare a wide variety of surfaces for watercolour painting. This inspirational book will also show you how to use these exciting new products to paint onto glass baubles, 3D cardboard letters, wooden tree ornaments and more. And once you have the skills, who knows where your imagination will take you? Finally, a gallery of additional Christmas motifs and designs that can be used for further inspiration can be found at the end of the book including reindeer, robins, mittens, snowflakes, stars, baubles, snowmen, candy canes, winter foliage, presents, decorations, elves and much much more!
