Do you want to learn to use watercolors, or brush up your skills or are you a wonderful painter? Personally, I think, watercolors are scary LOL.... Let's learn or practice together!

Happy Winter Holidays! I'm posting this swap really early because Hanukkah begins early December this year. Maybe we can greet our Jewish friends on time :o)

Join me:

• Create one 4 x 6 postcard

• Monthly design: Winter Holidays, Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanza

• Write a note to your partner

• Mail your postcard

• Sender's choice: theme and colors

• Watch the tutorials, decide which postcard you'd like to receive

• In comments below, indicate which three options you prefer

OPTION 1: 5 Minute Holiday Card Ideas (5 options) photo on the swap

OPTION 2: Kwanzaa Kinara

Note: I only found one Kwanzaa watercolor, I think it qualifies for "easy peasy" if the black background is optional. Of course it's up to the painter to decide :o)

MAILING NOTE: Originally, I wanted the postcard mailed naked to save on postage. But because they are watercolors, the postcard may be destroyed if it gets wet. Sender's choice, to mail naked, in a plastic sleeve, an envelope or sealed with Dorland's Wax.

Please attach your card to backing to mail. Think: cereal box or similar cardboard thickness.

Recap:

• Sender's choice which image to create for their partner

• Create one 4 x 6 watercolor postcard

• When you sign up: write three postcard suggestions

• Sign the back of your postcard and mail it

All skill levels encouraged

Newbies and international friends welcome!

TECHNIQUE TUTORIAL:

• This tutorial explains several watercolor techniques: https://youtu.be/znHdmPL48fc?si=0H6OddUtbIUWW0U6

DORLAND'S WAX (suggestion only)

• New product sold in a jar. Apply to your watercolor postcard, let cure for 48 hours and mail it away. Only purchase the small jar, a little goes a long way.

• Thanks Lisa for suggesting Dorland's Wax!

Extras not necessary. Please rate a 5 if you receive a watercolor postcard which meets swap requirements. As usual hearts are up to you.

I will angel if necessary.

Thanks for taking a look at this swap! Have a great day.
