About This Course

Fun for the eager painter who wants cut spending by painting original cards for family & friends. About 10 minutes each.

EXTRA helpful lecture added in Section TWO.

ALSO

NEW Bonus lecture added August 2023


This is perfect for those who want to paint some quick and easy pictures for a selection of greeting cards including suggestions for Christmas.

There are paintings suitable for different seasons and a variety of special occasions. And what's even better most of the paintings will only take you about 10 minutes to paint. So once you get into a rhythm you will be building up quite a collection to mount however you wish onto blank cards.

Impress your family and friends and maybe even start selling them. You never know ?

There are so many different festivals celebrated by different nationalities I have not featured any except Christmas, but I do hope some of the things you see here will inspire you with your own special celebrations.

Foi divertido, mas a aula do cupcake ficou com a imagem travada no final, só tem voz. Aprendi algumas coisas que não sabia.

I didn't paint yet. I like to see how you do it first, just to get a little idea.

So far, it's not as good as what you can get for free on youtube.

It's another winner from Nicola Blakemore. These cards are challenging for me (a beginner), yet accessible to my level of ability. More experienced painters will probably do them better, but I am finding that a hand painted card is a very exciting gift for everyone to whom I've given one - regardless of perfection or lack of perfection. One thing that I really love about this course (and all her course, for that matter) are the many practical tips and lessons that carry forward into other projects. In other words, I've learned a lot more than just how to paint a few cards. Painting has helped bring me out of a deep depression in the last six weeks and these easier paintings are a great way to get lost in creativity - with a beautiful product at the end. Thanks, nicola!
