Fearless Friday, Holiday Ornaments
I can’t wait to start decorating for Christmas this year!
I recently heard that people who decorate early
are significantly happier,
so let’s bring on the decorations!
Today we’re going to draw and color holiday ornaments
and there is a free printable
if you want to follow along and color with me
First I did a pencil sketch
Then I outlined it in ink and erased the pencil
You can download the free printable here
I used yellow and brownish yellow
for the gold ornament cap and ball
and colored in black checks
I used colored pencil in the highlight area of the ornament
and colored the rest of the ornament with marker
I added 2 shades of green to the base for contrast
I colored the tree with the same 2 greens
and added a similar highlight with colored pencil
Then I filled in with red marker
and colored in the center ornament
with shades of blues and greens
I used gray to indicate silver ribbons and bows
I thought they looked a little lost
so for a final touch I added some Christmas tree branches
If you want a free printable of the finished drawing
you can download it here
Happy drawing, painting, and decorating!
Be Fearless!

Very festive and beautiful, Jenna.
Thank you Angie!
Jenna, the ornaments are beautiful! I began my Christmas decorating early and hope to finish this weekend! Happy Friday!
Thank you Pam, I can’t wait to start decorating! Have fun!
Have a wonderful Holiday season, Jenna. I had a stack of your Thanksgiving print outs at my Thanksgiving and my grandchildren loved them ( and their leaves were beautiful!). I’ll make prints of your ornaments and I’m sure they will be a hit, too!
Oh thank you Rosie, I’m so glad!!!
This is a fun one! thanks and happy decorating!
Thanks Leslie Anne! I decorated the beach house yesterday, and it was lots of fun, what a pretty weather week it’s been on the Gulf coast! I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
So cute! Christmas ornaments really set the stage.
Thanks Dorothy, time to think Christmas!
This post with these pretty ornaments should get everyone inspired to decorate. The tree lights are twinkling here. Enjoy the big game tomorrow Jenna. RTR……
Thank you Emily, you have inspired me to start decorating early next year! I did decorate the beach house yesterday and it made me so happy! Roll Tide!
If what you heard is true, my subdivision has some really happy people! Each night when I take a final walk around the block, I see some more decorations that have gone up. I have to chuckle because many of the houses still have a fall decorations up so they have a dual theme going. Just can’t quite get rid of those pumpkins. In my former town, I noticed Christmas decorations going up earlier than usual last year and I attributed it to the lockdowns there. People were so oppressed and that was one way to turn up the happiness factor.
I have finally decided it’s okay to combine the 2 holidays! Pumpkins and Christmas trees! The more happiness the better!
I like that approach and attitude!
Yes, bring on the decorations! Love your pretty ornaments, Jenna. 🎄❤️
Thank you Patty Anne!
These drawings are adorable! I’m starting my Christmas decorating this weekend 😊Happy decorating!
Thank you Cindy! Have fun decorating!
I love your ornaments! I did a series last year of ornaments and was going to do more this year till I ran out of time… maybe before Chrismas. But they won’t be as cute as yours!
Thanks Jeanie, this was a fun one!
So festive Jenna, hope your decorating is well under way! We were out of town for Thanksgiving so I just got our tree up and decorated yesterday.
You are way ahead of me Mary, we were at the beach all last week and I still have pumpkins everywhere!
This watercolor is beautiful, Jenna. I’m featuring it at the next FWF party! Thanks for sharing all the wonderful things through your blog.
Merry Christmas
Thanks so much Rachelle!
