HOLLY BRANCH TUTORIAL

FUNDAMENTALS

Draw a festive snowy holly branch with me as I show you step-by-step exactly what to do to achieve a realistic result. Key techniques you'll learn are how to draw leaves, berries and snow.

PAPER

I use Fabriano Artistico hot pressed watercolour paper for this tutorial, but they have since changed the texture of the surface. Alternatively, I recommend starting out with a paper such as Strathmore 300 Series Bristol Vellum as it's perfect for beginners.

WHAT TO EXPECT

    - 3 part tutorial
