Paint a 'stained glass' robin

Enjoy creating a stained glass window effect for a fun Christmas card with this step-by-step watercolour demonstration by Lesley.

Many people have been developing new hobbies over the last few months, others perhaps finding new directions. I’ve not been able to get out and explore the countryside as much as I’d like for new material, or to share my love of watercolour in my classes and workshops. So, when asked if I’d like to contribute to this event I had a yearning to paint something different, a stained leaded glass effect. I’ve designed this, hoping that you can produce a cheering image to share with your family and friends, and learn something about watercolour as you go. The practice will help you develop into more complex work should you find some stained glass that you’d like to paint.
