Christmas is coming at us fast. Now is the time to join in the monthly Fan Club Christmas Challenge if you haven't been already.
October's Inspiration Photo is a cozy, elegant cup of cocoa surrounded by holiday cheerâe"think ornaments, little packages, and sweet seasonal touches. You can be inspired by anything in the picture - the colors, the packages, the hot cocoa, the holy - anything.
I was inspired by the hot chocolate, the peppermint sticks, the holly on the cup, and some of the colors.
I watched this tutorial before sketching and painting this fun cup of hot chocolate:

Your sentiment is great to go with that pretty cup of cocoa which warms me just to look at it.

I feel like this is going to be a favorite of the year for me. Whether I actually get to making a list is another story. I need a secretary. Haha! I adore your pink cup and saucer filled with a delicious beverage!
