This month in Art Techniques, Brenda Ellis teaches us how to paint holiday textures in watercolor, using any number of your favorite Christmas decorations! Transform a Christmas snowman or hanging ornament into a treasured work of art as you work through Brenda’s lessons step by step.

Plus, Nancy Blue’s Beginning Violin students get to learn how to play “Joy to the World” this month! Play it first with the bow, then with the D and A strings. Celebrate this most wonderful time of the year with heartfelt music and songs.
