Christmas Advent Calendar in Watercolors 🎄
24 days of Christmas paintings in watercolors!
“It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting”
- Paulo Coelho-
Christmas is coming, and this year I have something very special to share with you.
My first watercolor book has just been published ! I am so Happy!
Christmas Advent Calendar in Watercolors: 24 Days of Fun is a collection of 24 Christmas projects that we can paint together throughout November and December!
And I would love for you to join me!
🎨 Let’s start painting together
We are going to start our Christmas painting countdown on November 7th.
For 24 days, I’ll be painting one Christmas project from my book each day, so by the end of November we will have created 24 little Christmas artworks together.
You can paint along with me, choose your favorite projects, or simply use the book whenever you have time to sit down and paint.
I wanted this book to be something fun and simple — a reason to slow down, pick up your brushes and enjoy a little creative time during the Christmas season.
🎨 How Daily Painting Transforms Us
My Watercolor Advent Calendar has taught me so much about discipline, joy, and the beauty of daily practice.
Painting every day isn’t about perfection — it’s about presence.
It’s about showing up, even if only for five minutes.
When we create consistently, something shifts inside us:
- We build gentle discipline
- We learn to embrace progress instead of perfection
- We slow down enough to hear our thoughts and feel God’s peace
- We experience joy in tiny, meaningful moments
Daily painting becomes more than art it becomes a devotional, a moment of rest, a pause for the soul.
Even a few brushstrokes can nourish us more than we expect.
🎄 What is inside the book?
The book includes 24 Christmas watercolor projects, with everything you need to follow along:
- 24 Christmas illustrations to paint

Simple and fun projects to enjoy throughout the Christmas season
I designed the book to be easy to use, whether you are already comfortable with watercolor or just starting out.
You don't need to be an expert artist. Just your paints, brushes and a little time to create. 🤍

🖌️ 24 days, 24 little Christmas paintings
I have always loved the idea of an Advent calendar because you get to enjoy a little surprise every day.
This time, I wanted to make it creative.
So instead of opening a chocolate every day, let's paint something! 🎄
Starting November 7th, we will create one project each day and enjoy 24 days of Christmas painting together.
Usually, Advent calendars start on December 1st and continue until Christmas Eve, with one little surprise each day.
But this year, I wanted to start a little earlier!
Since these are 24 watercolor projects, I want to give us enough time to paint them all, especially if you would like to use some of your paintings as Christmas cards, gifts or decorations.
So we will start our Christmas painting countdown on November 7th and paint one project every day until November 30th.
That way, when December arrives, we will already have all 24 projects finished and plenty of time to enjoy the Christmas season — and maybe even use some of your paintings for your Christmas preparations. 🎄🤍
24 projects. 24 days. One little painting every day.
You can follow along on Instagram @leslumieresdesigns, where I'll be sharing the projects throughout the month.
And if you paint along with me, I would absolutely love to see your creations!
Tag me @leslumieresdesigns so I can see what you paint.
Let's make this Christmas a little more creative, one watercolor at a time.
Happy painting!
