Beautiful colouring! This could only be an asset to "Secret in the Garden". Add it to your child's Christmas stocking!

Some expert colouring from one of our young readers. I might have competition as an illustrator!
It would be lovely to see some more examples of colouring by our young illustrators. In case you want to have a try you can buy a copy of your book from Castlegate Stationery in WETHERBY. www.castlegatestationers.co.uk. Or try my Etsy store at www.etsy.com/shop/printsandartbyrachel where you will find “Secret in the Garden” featured at the top of the page.

Follow the link below to see details of a new watercolour tutorial in my Etsy shop
https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/4393583868
It takes you step by step through painting a winter landscape and (if you choose to paint the sun in gold) would make a great Christmas card. Colours and techniques are described in detail and the painting evolves in easy to follow stages. This is not a difficult painting to produce and beginners are welcome!
