This is the second in my Christmas Art Prompts series. I'm taking 12 Christmassy themes and choosing one at a time at random, drawing or painting it using different art supplies. I'll be using the designs I create in my Christmas cards this year. In this one, I'm painting a Christmas Tree in watercolour. I'm using some botanical motifs and inspiration from folk art.

If you want to play along, here are the 12 themes I'll be choosing from:

Robin
Tree
Wreath
Stockings
Holly
Mistletoe
Reindeer
Star
Angel
Bauble
Snow
Gift

The Christmas Tree design I made for this can be found on my website, if you want to paint along. This is provided for your own personal use but please don't sell on or otherwise profit from my designs:

You don't need to use the exact supplies I'm using but if you'd like to know, these are what they are. You also may want to shop around for paints and brushes because prices vary from store to store.

* The watercolours I'm using are the Windsor and Newton Professional 24 half pan set.
