Wouldn't these lovely poinsettias make great Christmas cards?
These are soft pastel paintings completed on red construction paper.

We examined a few faux poinsettias before starting our artwork, and we used a resource photo to refer to as we worked.
We drew our poinsettia using the tutorial found at Masterpiece Art Instruction.

I think they are beautiful!
Our poinsettia artists ranged in age from 9 to adult.
