DIY watercolour postcard ‘Gateway to the Orient’

DIY watercolour postcard ‘Gateway to the Orient’
90 min Medium

The most wonderful time of the year is vacation. Why not send real postcards again instead of greetings via an app? If you then decorate the postcard with a motif you have painted yourself, the holiday greeting will be something very personal. Capture the typical features of your holiday destination as a motif. Our postcard shows the typical tea ceremony with pine nuts, buildings with blue doors, palm trees and jasmine.

The motif makes you dream of markets, sandy beaches and gardens with date palms.
