These cards are beautiful. You found the right balance between whimsical and sophisticated. Most water colour Xmas cards look so amateuristic but these are spot on gorgeous.
There are so many combinations of water to paper to paint…the unpredictability is what makes it fun! I usually write out notes next to my experiences with color…I don’t call them mistakes but experiments. Now that I’m getting a little better, I can turn around something I don’t like to something better. I love that you call your wash, a puddle! 😆 Your creations are beautiful…thank you for sharing❣️🙏🏽🙋🏻♀️👍🏽Mia
Super excited to meet you and find your channel!!! I very much look forward to seeing more of your content!! I have thrown myself into watercolors and I am surprised to report that I am OBSESSED!!! It’s so much fun!!! Anyway, I never leave comments, but wanted to fully encourage you to keep posting!!!!
Thank you so much! I've had such a wonderful response to this video and I'm so inspired to create more content! Thank you so much for being here and for the beautiful comments!
Love this. I did collage similar to this a few years back. It had a patchwork background. I have since taken up watercolors. Thanks for sharing this, I may try in WC. Patchwork will be challanging
Thank you for sharing your interesting and pleasing design! I especially appreciated you narrating about how you deal with water flow on the page, it;s a topic that isn't talked about frequently on short videos.
Another new viewer, subscriber and groupie here! I’m a quilter and have always enjoyed embellishing fabric. I could see translating this process into fabric but I’ve always been enchanted by watercolors and the various techniques so I’m going to be playing soon in this fascinating medium. Thank you for the explanations and demonstrations.
Awesome! Thank you! My mother is a quilter of 40+ years so I think a lot of my inspiration comes from fabric subconsciously! Have fun playing with your paints!
I'm so happy I discovered you today. I researched about your story and feely deeply touched by it, in particular your healing journey after loss and your spirituaility by creativity. Your voice is soothing to listen to and I love your thorough instructions. Am looing forward to the journey of discovering your content. Bless you and thank you ❤
Thank you that means so much. It’s been a difficult journey and I’m so thankful for my painting and being able to share with like minded souls like you ❤️
FIRST VIDEO & I AM A FAN!🤩 I’m probably thought to be too old to start learning new things by many people but not to me! To that end I’ve been searching for content creators that resonated with me. People that had the willingness to show what they do. I’ve always wished I could have taken art classes so now I am, sorta. LOL You have now become one of my teachers & I hope you will continue your wonderful channel for a long time. Have a blessed holiday season & now I will be binging stopping every now and then to practice what you do. Wish me luck?!
Thank you so much!! I don't believe in age lol, it's all in our minds anyway. I love your comment so much and I'm so happy you're here, I hope you have a wonderful holiday too and good luck painting!!! You got this!
Hi Monica, first video and I am a fan!!. You are so so clever!!, your cards are I believe the simplest I have seen this season, in their simplicity I find them to be the most beautiful. There are so many ways you can go and your entire pallet is your friend as well as that gorgeous gold!!. 🎄♥️
This is so beautiful! I just found your channel and have liked and subscribed. I really appreciate artists that demonstrate how to sketch out the work. It makes it so much easier for your followers to be successful. Thank you very much for a lovely tutorial.
I'm a new subscriber. This is giving me naive scandi vibes and I love it. Two styles I'm drawn to and presented in a way I think I can perhaps achieve. Thank you.
I love that idea. You make it look so easy but i bet i can mess it up! I'm going to give it a go though. I'm completely non arty, much to my disappointment and I've decided, as an oldie, that I'm really going to try and paint. I love this tutorial, thank you so much for sharing. My dog Foxy sends slobbery kisses to Maisie. Xmas peace and joy to you all the way from England 😊
If you do mess up that’s ok, I think just painting is where the joy lies and having fun, but I’ll bet they come out much better than you expect! Be sure to tell Foxy thanks for the kisses!! Wishing you all the best this season too ❤️
Hey Monica. This is my first time watching your tutorial. I like what I'm seeing. In watching you blending your colors, I noticed a definite face in the blue grey paint. I told my husband to look, there is someone else watching with us. Lol ...... Just thought I'd share.

Thank you Mia! Watercolor has become my favorite by far, I love the unpredictability too! Thanks for watching ❤️
These are elegant and beautiful! Thank you for showing us! I was hoping to catch your little fella with the squeaky toy, but maybe next time! 🌸
Thank you so much! I'll be sure to catch her the next time I do a video lol!!

The blues are my fav!
Me too!!

Yes, no pressure painting!

The simplicity and equal elegance of the finished card is special. Thank you for an inspiring, “ I think I can do that!” tutorial.
You are so welcome! And you absolutely can! Happy painting 😊
Beautiful! You inspire!
Thank you so much!!
Love this. I did collage similar to this a few years back. It had a patchwork background. I have since taken up watercolors. Thanks for sharing this, I may try in WC. Patchwork will be challanging
Thanks! It’s definitely a lot of fun and probably a little easier than the patchwork 😊
So gorgeous! So happy I discovered you.! Thank you for sharing your talent with us. ❤
