"Chinese celebrate most holidays with cheerful red candles. Let's do some red candles to celebrate the holidays. Another delightful subject of holiday greeting is the holly - string of red happy dots brings good fortune and joy. Poinsettia is a piece of cake and your friends will admire your original painting years to come."
Every year, Ning would end his Fall semester college course with a class on holiday subjects, so that his students can create their own handmade cards in time for the holiday season. In this video lesson he shares simple compositions of their three favorite holiday subjects - Poinsettia, Holly, and a Candle.
