Creative gift ideas and watercolor classes for holiday season

The gift-giving season is around the corner, and I put together some gift ideas because in my experience everybody loves to receive beautiful artwork, especially if they are not as creative as you are ;) Let's start with my favorite:

1. A painting of the favorite flowers is always a good idea )) it will bring a smile to someones face whenever she will see it in her house. I love flowers myself, and to paint them is a pure joy, on my page you can find the classes on how to paint: poppies, peonies, sunflowers, magnolia, and many other flowers. Pick the style you like and enjoy the process and the result.

📷Watercolor Hummingbird: Easy & Fun Watercolor Project 4. Custom portraits are trickier, but also make great, very special gifts, I mentioned it in my newest class:📷"Whimsical Portraits in Watercolo

I am so excited about the projects you are uploading, and I am doing my best to reply as fast as possible to all of them.

And if you are working on your Holiday Cards, gift tags or just want to paint something cozy and seasonal you may enjoy this two classes:📷 "Easy Holiday Cards in Ink and Watercolor" 📷 & "Watercolor Poinsettia in three styles"

On Friday I am going to share some of your projects on my Instagram, and next week is already December, and I am planning to film a class on how to create gift toppers, so get those gifts ready! ;)

I am so excited to be back in my studio and to chat more with you and to get to know you better through your projects, comments, and tiny profile pictures. Happy painting, and stay warm and amazing,x Irina.
