Joy watercolor wreath tutorial

Close-up of a Christmas wreath watercolor at an early stage. Most of the wreath and the word “JOY” are still drawn in pale blue guide lines, while a short section of leafy branches at the upper left has been painted green. A hand holds a blue-handled paintbrush to one of the newly painted leaves, with a watercolor palette above.

Early-stage watercolor process photograph of a circular Christmas wreath template on textured paper. The entire wreath is sketched in pale blue transferred lines, including individual leaves, branching stems, berry circles, and the large serif word “JOY” in the center. Only a small section at the upper left has been painted so far, with a thin green stem and several bright green leaf shapes. A hand holds a blue-handled round brush directly beside the painted section. A compact watercolor palette with stained mixing areas and multiple color pans occupies the upper portion of the image.
