Why not use your painting skills to make gifts, tags, or ornaments for Christmas? Handmade gifts mean so much more because your friends and family know you had to spend a little more time on them and that thoughtfulness is always appreciated.
The decoration shown is on a ready made packaged wooden ornament found at a craft store. I prepared it with a layer of gesso and finished with a coat of spray gloss. These can be enhanced in a hundred different ways. Here is one idea with photos of the process.
The other pictures are small paintings I’ve done on canvas with a Christmas theme.
and now for some other ideas…
Great holiday fun.
Hey, thanks, Nora. Give it a try.
