DIY Watercolor Christmas - Ingrid Sanchez

From Ingrid Sanchez, DIY Watercolour Christmas is a paperback craft book filled with seasonal painting ideas designed to help you explore watercolour at Christmas. Alongside guidance on the materials and equipment used in watercolour painting, it introduces both traditional and contemporary Christmas colour palettes and a broad range of techniques, including washes, layering, blending and gradation.

With 12 step-by-step projects, the book is structured so beginners can follow along with confidence. Projects include painting Christmas cards, gift tags and gift boxes, seasonal table settings, Christmas crackers and garlands, plus a watercolour wreath for gifting or display. It also explains how to use watercolour primer products to prepare a variety of surfaces, with inspiration for painting onto glass baubles, 3D cardboard letters and wooden tree ornaments. A gallery of additional motifs at the back of the book offers further designs, from reindeer and robins to snowflakes, stars and winter foliage.
