Home for the Holidays
I love painting Christmas and winter scenes during the holidays (and January too!). 
 
In this course, we sketch, paint and add fun details to 10 cozy, holiday, winter homes and buildings. From the snowy church to the holiday boutique, to the homes inspired by my trip to Paris and several classic, cozy Christmas homes, there is a plethora of painting projects to keep you creating through the season!
 
These paintings make great gifts or use them as your relaxing time during this wonderful, but oh-so-busy time of year!
 
List of supplies included. This is a self-paced, online course.

Praise & Paint through Christmas
Praise and paint through the holiday season with the women in the story of Christmas.
 
We take a bit of an unconventional dive into both the lineage of Jesus and the women at his birth.
 
The birth of Christ (and the women in his lineage) were NOT part of a Hallmark Holiday story line! While the glitter and gold and sprinkles are wonderful at Christmas, the true story - and the heart of the season - is rooted in things harder, grittier and a whole lot more beautiful and wonderful than our culture can give us.
 
Praise and paint your way through the holidays this year as we journey through these women's stories - and our own.
 
List of supplies included. Full sketching, painting, and "add in the details" included in this online self-paced course.
