Here is number three in our series of watercolor Christmas card tutorials for 2023. We'll be uploading a new tutorial every day in November, and they will all be quick, simple and easy-to-do so you can fit them into spare moments or sit down with the kids or grandkids to enjoy a happy time together getting in the festive mood.
Christmas Card number 3 is a trio of woolly sheep, and if you have a bit longer than 15 minutes you can keep your sheep warm with some woolly scarves too!

Today I'm using a 5x7" piece of 100% cotton hot pressed paper by Meeden (scroll down for a discount code) but any watercolor paper that's at least 140lb will be fine. The smoother surface of hot pressed paper is lovely to paint on and it gives a different effect from the more commonly used cold pressed paper, and if you aren't familiar with hot press I really do suggest that you experiment it.

About my brushes
I have always bought my favorite brushes from Drawell direct from Japan. They are handmade in Japan. Drawell will ship readily to anywhere in the world. The prices on their website are in Japanese currency but if you send Mr Maeyama an email he will give you prices in other currencies. The brushes I use are the Golden Nylon Series 11-2, and I use mostly sizes 7or 9 and 10 and 13. http://www.drawell.co.jp/english/product.html
