Today, I'm sharing a holiday-themed tutorial for a fun painting that would work beautifully as a greeting card design.🎄
In this one, we're practicing essential techniques such as: wet-on-wet, wet-on-dry, and layering for depth. I also teach you how to use salt to create a beautiful background texture that conveys falling snow, and share how I use a drawing pen to add handwritten messages in this kind of piece.
I hope you enjoy working on this one and that it inspires you to give away some art this holiday season to help brighten others' days. 💞
