Painting a Christmas Wreath in Gouache | 12 Cards of Christmas No 6: Wreath

In this video I show how to paint a Christmas Card design using gouache. I show you how to paint a wreath with winter foliage and berries. I've got 12 Christmassy themes and I'm choosing one at random in each video to create a design that can be used on cards and gift tags etc. I'm going to be giving myself an extra creative challenge by using some different art supplies to the ones I'm most comfortable with.

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

For this video, I used the following supplies:

Windsor and Newton Designer's Gouache. I have the introductory set and supplemented it with a couple of extra colours (Indigo, Venetian Red and Burnt Umber)

Hot Press Watercolour Paper (This is less textured than other watercolour papers and I've found that helpful for using with Gouache)

Brushes - I'm using these value brushes from Royal and Langernickel:
