I promise I am not trying to rush Christmas…
I prefer summertime myself, but temperatures are finally dropping here, reminding me that
Christmas is coming, Ho Ho Ho, so let’s paint some Santas!
Last year I showed you how to paint a knock off Vietri Santa ornament here
My JMdesigns Santa is easy to paint too~
1. paint 2 pink “eggs” side by side
2. paint a red swash above the pink eggs leaving a space
3. paint another red swash from the bottom right, making the top half an O and stop. Paint a connecting swash from the left bottom up and joining the top of the O
4. Fill Santa’s cap in with more red
5. Paint 5 large white dots, next to each other, in a shallow curve, under the cheeks
6. Add a row of 4 dots underneath and then 3 dots below that. Add a dot on each side of the cheeks and one for a pom-pom on his cap
7. Next add a row of dots across the bottom of his hat, for the furry trim
8. Add a small dot for his red nose, and a couple of quick brush strokes across his cheeks for his mustache
Now, you’ve painted a gift bag! Go have a cup of coffee and relax, you’ve got the holidays covered!
A few polka dots are a nice addition
and perhaps some sprigs of holly~
Ho Ho Ho!
Be sure to use paint made for glass painting if you want to paint on dishware or anything that will be washed.
