Christmas Watercolour Workshop: Hand-Painted Notecards

Celebrate the season with a creative and relaxing workshop where you will design and paint your very own set of festive watercolor notecards. Perfect for sending warm holiday wishes or keeping as keepsakes, these cards are a wonderful way to share your creativity with loved ones.

During this 2.5 hour class, participants will create five unique notecards featuring joyful and festive motifs.

Whether you are brand new to watercolor or already enjoy painting, this workshop is designed for all skill levels.

All materials are included: watercolor notecards, stencils, paints, brushes, and markers. Join us for this cozy, hands-on activity and discover how relaxing and rewarding it can be to create cards that convey not only words, but heartfelt holiday cheer.

Diana Quilarque is a dedicated visual artist with over 26 years of experience in oil and watercolor painting. Originally from Venezuela, she developed a deep appreciation for realism through detailed landscapes, still life, and portraits. After a 20-year hiatus, she rekindled her passion for painting, studying under renowned artist Lorne Winters from 2017 to 2023. During this time, she refined her techniques and expanded her artistic vision.

Drawn to watercolor’s fluidity and expressive nature, Diana embraced the medium, allowing her to capture light, movement, and emotion in ways oil painting could not. She has exhibited her work in local art collectives and has contributed to multiple charity auctions. Passionate about teaching, she shares her expertise through workshops, guiding students of all levels to develop their skills and artistic voices. Diana believes art is a transformative experience—one that fosters creativity, mindfulness, and connection.
