From Emily Lex Studio in Gig Harbor, Washington — an artist, author and illustrator working in pencil sketch and watercolor.
Her workbooks print the sketch straight onto thick watercolor paper with step-by-step instructions, so someone who has never held a brush can just paint. Notecards, prints and children's books come in the same hand.

Clara and her nutcracker, the Mouse King with his saber raised, the Sugar Plum Fairy on her toes, a Christmas tree hung with candles and red bows: twelve scenes from the holiday ballet, each one sketched onto the page and waiting for color. Put the music on, fill a jar of water, and paint the story one character at a time.
Every lesson opens flat across the spiral. The finished painting and its color palette sit on the left page above numbered steps, and the light sketch waits opposite, ready for color. Most paintings take about thirty minutes, so one evening can carry you from the nutcracker prince's red jacket to the toy soldiers in their tall black hats. Every Emily Lex watercolor workbook measures 6.5 by 9 inches, is printed on custom 120 lb cold-press watercolor paper, and is made in the USA. Give it to a young dancer before a Nutcracker matinee, or keep it for the quiet nights of December. A QR code on the back cover opens a free painting class from the studio. No paint comes in the book, so add the studio's own watercolor paint set if the dancer on your list is starting from scratch.
