Seasonal Illustrations ~ A Watercolor Workshop

Harvest to Holly is a gentle ushering-in of the holiday season—a chance to slow down, gather with other creatives, and paint your way into the magic of the season.

Throughout our day together, we’ll create more than 20 small watercolor images (2x2"), inspired by the wonderful images and traditions of the holidays. You’ll have traceables, patterns, and color guides to make the painting process relaxed, approachable, and fun. We have great gift-giving ideas for your artwork!
