How to paint realistic holly leaves for your Christmas card

Painting your own Christmas card should be a lot of fun.

But there’s also some pressure there – you want it to look right if all your friends and family will see it!

So I thought I’d share with you some pointers for painting holly leaves that are really realistic and shapely:

Why not try them out this weekend? And if you’re a member of my online school then the full step-by-step tutorial of this holly (including it’s berries), is available there.

Please let me know in the comments if you have painted your own cards before – and how it went. And if you do have a go at these leaves I’d love it if you shared them with me via social media using #AnnaMasonArt so I can see them!

Happy painting!
