Today I'm painting some mini landscapes with woodland and trees in winter colours. These make great Christmas card projects. I'm painting these to get ideas for this week's step-by-step tutorial which will be up on Friday and will also feature a wintry woodland.

Those are all gorgeous! Placing them on the green and gold makes them really pop! I can imahine doing that with many other colors, too. Thank you. ❤

I've just moved to the forest from the desert, and I will decorate my room with some miniatures of these. I think they are lovely. Thank you

Lovely, I hope you enjoy painting them - I'd love to live in the forest!

I’m a newbie and I might be able to do these. My favorite is the forest with the snow. Love it and thank you for doing these. I would love to see more tiny paintings

I really love the misty trees! And the minimalist one with the birds. That green paper really sets off these paintings. Love Love Love!

These miniature arboreal masterpieces are a delight! 🌲 I'm acutely aware that painting, talking us through what you're doing live, _and_ making sure your hands are at the right angle for us to see is quite the juggling act for you to accomplish. 😵‍💫🤯 Thanks so much for sharing your skills and tips with us so generously, Lou. 🤍

Fave: Snowy grove. The way you brought light into the composition makes it a standout. Never mind the one 'blurry' tree, no one will really notice. Runner Up: Leafless trees on hill. So simple - just speaks of winter. Fantastic color! Inspiring - makes me want to give it a go! Merry Christmas!

I had never painted in watercolors before, but about Thanksgiving time I decided to try to paint my own Christmas cards, following KZfaq instructions. Painted 45 cards, using about 5-6 different designs. This was one I painted a few times and it turned out very well. Thanks for sharing

These turned out beautifully! I like all of them very much but my favourite is the sparse winter tree one. Love the touches of gold in the larger trees as well. 😊🌲🌲🌲

My favorite is the “too busy one”. New subscriber. I paint with acrylics. I’ve always thought watercolor would be too hard. Looking forward to overcoming my fear of watercolor painting.

@LouDavis Жыл бұрын

Thanks! I hope you enjoy watercolours, I transitioned from acrylics too - they're very different and that takes a bit of getting used to!
