Christmas is always the perfect time to calm down, get cozy, rest and of course do something wonderful. If you choose, you can paint this little and very beginner friendly watercolor illustration with me: A robin ornament.It’s inspired by a robin I’ve seen the other week and that I wanted to incorporate into something simple and joyful.
You’ll only need a few supplies, which you probably already have on hand!
