Watercolor Christmas Ball Painting Tutorial

Описание: In this video, I show how to paint a red Christmas ball in watercolor using a calm, beginner-friendly, step-by-step approach with a wintery blue background.
This is a relaxed watercolor painting tutorial, focused on smooth blending, water control, and clear visual explanation.

The ornament is painted in a single wet-on-wet layer, with one bright primary highlight and a softer secondary reflection, helping the ball look round and glossy without hard edges.

🌲What this tutorial includes:
⦁ sketching the Christmas ornament
⦁ placing and preserving highlights
⦁ painting the ball wet on wet in one go
⦁ blending reds, yellows, and purples
⦁ painting pine branches
⦁ creating a soft wintery background
