Poinsettia Christmas card patterns are available!


Are you interested in painting poinsettia Christmas cards?

At the request of my students I'm making several of my best poinsettia patterns and photos available online for purchase. You will find these photos and traceable patterns in my Artstore

In addition to the photos and patterns I also have a free printable watercolor tips page on "How to Paint Pretty Poinsettias without a pattern" on my main watercolor website. Enjoy!

Happy Painting!

New Watercolor Poinsettias for Christmas

Hello!
I wanted to share the latest additions to my watercolor Christmas cards. These pretty pink poinsettias were painted from some photos I took last year at a couple of my favorite local greenhouses/nurseries.
At this time of the year when I visit the local plant places each and every pinsettia seem to be crying "Take me home with you!" I can't buy them all...so I do the next best thing... I take photos!
I'll add more as I have time. If you are interested in purchasing any of my watercolor cards you'll find them on my website in my new gift gallery.

I also have some tips for painting your own poinsettias in my watercolor tips pages.
Thanks for looking! Your comments are always appreciated and welcome!

Painting a Pretty Poinsettia

Merry Christmas!

When we see a poinsettia we automatically thing of the Christmas Season. They make the perfect flower for the holidays. Painting a poinsettia can be as easy or as difficult as you want to make it. Easy is painting them like this on, looking down at them from the top. Painting them from the side view or other angles includes more shapes and perspective.

I've added a new watercolor tip on my website for Painting Pretty Poinsettias. Check your print preview before you print it. You may need to adjust your margins a little. I hope you enjoy painting these pretty flowers with me. Please email me a jpeg of your poinsettias I'd love to see your paintings or cards. I'll be starting a new page for paintings created from the watercolor tips on my website in a few months.

Merry Christmas!
