Victoria cleanly laid different styles out and helped so much with who the target audience is for each.

“This was a wonderful class! The group was so supportive and Victoria is a wonderful teacher. I love Christmas as a subject matter but there are so many different styles I often have trouble telling one from the other.

The mood boards were amazing and absolutely beautiful! The class also helped me sort out what my strengths and weaknesses are regarding different Christmas styles. I’m so happy I signed up for this class and can’t wait to start the next Create Christmas!”

Sometimes I need a jumping-off point to get started on new projects, this was just the push I needed.

“I really enjoy making Christmas art, so this class was definitely for me!

Victoria has thoughtfully put together projects based on trends in the marketplace and even includes tips on how to get started.

You really get a bang for your buck with this class: great briefs, trend research, color palettes, industry tips and it's not overwhelming in that it's only 3 weeks long! Looking forward to taking it again!”

Being part of this very creative and often very experienced group of artists, I got to enjoy everyone else’s creations.

“As a new-comer to the art world, I confess to being nervous when I joined. I wasn’t sure if I would soon be drowning in lots of technical terms and expected to perform way beyond my current levels of expertise. However, this was not the case at all.

Victoria’s briefs were packed with lots of information and examples that were clear and inspirational to follow.

The Facebook group was friendly and very supportive. That in itself is very inspiring! I warmly recommend this course to anyone whatever their experience and level of expertise - there is something for everyone here!”

She really unravels the mystery of creating holiday art that stands out!

“I took Create Christmas 1 and absolutely loved it! So much so that I signed up for Create Christmas 2. Victoria created such an inspiring course with her industry insights, project briefs, and gorgeous style boards! I had so much fun working on the assignments and seeing everyone else’s work as well. I look forward to seeing what other courses she may come up with...Victoria, how about a course just like this only NOT Christmas...style boards/briefs for current trends. I would love to keep working! Thanks so much!”

We got very informative industry insights, which I learned so much from.

“Create Christmas was my first class with Victoria Johnson, and I absolutely loved it. Each week we received a new brief with a very inspiring trend board, a gorgeous color palette, and direction for each assignment.

The Facebook group is great, and I felt very inspired by all the gorgeous art from the students in the class, that showed up in my newsfeed every day.

I would highly recommend this class, it is well worth it, and I am very much looking forward to taking the next class with Victoria.”

Enough inspiration to push my thinking in a new direction, but not at all limiting so that everyone winds up creating the same thing.

“I LOVED this Create Christmas course! As an illustrator, it's sometimes hard to know what to create next & whether or not it is relevant to what art buyers/directors are wanting. Victoria's briefs are PERFECT. Very informative, with lots of industry info, and color palettes. This was my first class with Victoria, and I've already signed up for another!”

I love that you are encouraged to experiment but also do things your own way which is so important when building your portfolio or finding your style.

“Victoria’s Create Christmas course has been a great experience. The insight, information, ideas, and support you get are the best I’ve come across for an online course. The feedback either from Victoria directly (amazing!) or from the dedicated Facebook group is also second to none. I am so pleased I’ve taken this course and very much look forward to more.”

This was my 3rd class with Victoria and I've ended up creating some of my favorite pieces in each one.

“LOVE Victoria's courses! I appreciate her fun informative briefs and professional point of view. I'm a fan of her art, so it's nice to hear her feedback on work. The class is low pressure, which is nice, especially if you have other work you need to do (even when you'd rather be making Christmas cards ;) Thanks, Victoria!”

This was my third time in Victoria’s Create Christmas course and as always I am leaving with a smile on my face!

“Thank you, thank you, thank you! This course is filled with a ton of information. Victoria arms you with fantastic, on-trend briefs, beautiful mood boards, loads of suggestions on technique, and a plethora of ideas to execute.

Bar none this course and Explore Florals are the absolute best courses I have taken online. I will take them again and again. Thanks so very much Victoria for all that you do!”
