Craft: Winter Wonderland Watercolours

In this engaging workshop, you’ll discover a range of watercolour techniques to create serene, snowy landscapes, festive wreaths, and charming winter scenes. We’ll explore the “wet-on-wet” technique, where colours blend seamlessly for soft, atmospheric effects ideal for snowy skies and misty backgrounds. You’ll also learn dry brushing, a method that adds texture and dimension—perfect for capturing the intricate details of pine needles, tree branches, and other wintry elements. Additionally, we’ll experiment with techniques for removing paint, such as lifting with a dry brush or paper towel, which creates highlights and adds depth, mimicking the sparkle of frost or snow. Colour selection will be a focus, with guidance on using cool blues, whites, and silvers for frosty scenes, as well as rich greens and reds for festive wreaths and holly accents. By the end of the session, you’ll have a completed watercolour piece, whether it’s a tranquil winter landscape or a vibrant holiday wreath. This artwork will be ideal for holiday decor, gift-giving, or turning into a seasonal card, making it a meaningful keepsake that captures the essence of the holiday season.
