PAINTING VIDEO DESCRIPTION - Looking for an easy Christmas painting idea? Let me be your acrylic painting teacher and I take you through this easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions on how to paint a Christmas gnome, a beautiful landscape fun character image of "CHRISTMAS GNOME" with acrylic paint. Halloween is over and now it’s time to get ready for the Holidays! But one little clever gnome already got the jump on everyone and just finished his Christmas shopping already. Yup! After rummaging through all the major department stores on the planet, including, Macy’s, Bloomingdales, Saks Fifth Avenue, Harrods, Nordstroms, Walmart, Dollar Tree, J.C. Penny, Kohl’s, T.J. Maxx and Marshalls, he ice-skated in Rockefeller Center under the Christmas trees for a few minutes, sat on Santa’s lap, made snow angels, ate a snow cone, and then he grabbed a hot chocolate from a local food truck and he tied up his present bag, hopped on his sleigh, and headed back home because it was almost dinner time and his wife was making his favorite baked ham with pineapple! Tis the season for giving, and this cute fantasy friend is raring to go! So come join me for this easy painting lesson and spread the Christmas spirit! The first lesson you’ll learn in this festive painting tutorial is how to use simple painting techniques and color theory for blending the background for added depth and seasonal atmospheric dimension, using natural and heavenly colors to create a cool, crisp, white winter Christmas feel to your canvas, the perfect day for your button-nose buddy to go shopping for presents. With only a few swipes of the brush, you'll easily paint realistic wintery snow-capped evergreen trees, iconic symbols of the Christmas season. Then, after using chalk to draw the outline for your silly sleighing elf-cousin, you’ll paint a base coat of ideal holiday colors to build off of. The next art tip you’ll learn in this canvas painting lesson is how to paint clothing and cotton fluff with a simple stippling technique, making it feel so realistic that you would want to wear it on a cold snowy night. Then you’ll create realistic looking dimension with properly placed highlights and shadows on your giddy goblin to accentuate contour and form, followed by layering colors to create a realistic 3-D effect like a photograph. You’ll also learn how to paint snow with texture and dimension. Then you’ll use these same techniques when painting all the other fun stuff, including, the mittens, his beard, the sleigh, and his Santa hat. You’ll finish off this crazy cool adorable funny fantasy holiday scenery portrait by adding the details to the long flowing beard hair that's just flying in the wind as he soars through the air! Using only 2 brushes and 7 colors we'll create this conversational masterpiece that will bring joy to your home as you decorate for the Christmas family get togethers. An easy Christmas decoration idea for everyone! Not just a cute whimsical painting, but also an easy painting for beginners too. So, let's get painting and let's get sipping!
