With Christmas less than two months away, how many of you are preparing to paint your own greetings cards this year? We have included a couple of tutorials to inspire you in your quest for the perfect subject. Charles Evans no doubt will have you reaching for your acrylics to follow the painting of his snow scene (pages 50 to 53), while Judith Milne’s look at seasonal flower painting in watercolour, ideas for strong composition and practical card-making tips (pages 20 to 21) are all aimed at inspiring your own seasonal creativity.
Build your confidence as you follow the advice and practise the techniques you see here then take out your own reference material or use your imagination to paint an original card of your own. What better gift can you give someone you care about?
