🌿 A Holiday Creative Challenge for Every Heart
This Christmas season, I’m inviting you to slow down, pick up a brush, and rediscover the joy of creating something with your own hands. Starting November 8, we have been on a cozy, creative journey, 14 Days of Watercolor Christmas Prompts, a beginner-friendly challenge designed to help you paint, relax, and reconnect with your inner artist (yes, even if you’ve never held a brush before!).
Each day, I've been sharing a short and easy watercolor tutorial, one charming Christmas theme at a time, from trees and snowflakes to poinsettias, stars, and holiday wreaths. For every video, I've been using the gentle guide and a light-gray printable Christmas Practice Sheets, so you can follow along confidently and enjoy the process of learning, one brushstroke at a time.
🎄 Why Join the Challenge?
Because this season, creativity isn’t just about painting, it’s about feeling.
💛 It’s your time. These short daily moments will help you unwind, breathe, and find calm, even during the busiest holiday season. They are easy, you can start even now.
🎨 It’s beginner-friendly. You don’t need fancy tools or experience, just watercolor paper, a brush, and the desire to create something joyful.
🕯️ It’s meaningful. Each painting becomes part of something bigger; you can later turn them into your very own handmade Christmas cards.
🌟 It’s a community. You’ll be painting alongside people from around the world who are discovering the same creative joy, all using the hashtag #MyChristmasBrush to share their progress on social media.
🧠 The Psychology of Painting Daily
Painting a little every day helps you build creative confidence, one of the most powerful habits any artist (or dreamer!) can develop. When we repeat gentle movements, like brushstrokes, our brain and muscles start to connect in harmony. That’s how you build muscle memory, but also something deeper: trust in your own creative flow.
This daily rhythm also helps calm the mind. Watercolor has a way of teaching us to let go of control and find beauty in the unpredictable, much like life itself.
💌 The Perfect Ending: Create Your Own Christmas Cards
At the end of the 14 days, all your beautiful paintings will come together in the most magical way…
On November 22, I’ll be hosting a cozy 2-hour live online workshop where you’ll learn how to transform your watercolor prompts into handmade Christmas cards, full of charm, joy, and heart.
We’ll design, and assemble the cards together, step by step, so you can create something truly personal.
✨ You’ll walk away with:
✔ A set of your own handmade Christmas cards,
✔ Confidence in your watercolor practice,
✔ A calm creative memory to keep for years.
Whether you gift your cards to loved ones or even sell them at a local market, they’ll carry something no store-bought card ever could: you!
