snowy christmas robin with artist Renee Walden

snowy christmas robin

9 November 2023

I'm going to say it! Christmas is coming!! So let's get a bit of head start by painting a cute, little, fluffy robin in the snow.

You can scan your finished painting and turn it into a Christmas card or paint is as an original to give to someone special.

I painted this one to match the deer in the snow that is a lesson from about a year ago. They'll look so lovely together.

Happy painting!
