Christmas Nut Decoration - Preview

Seasons Greetings lovely painting people!

This weeks tutorial is a little homage to Christmas past, when decorations were made from what could be gathered from the wild.

This sweet little nut and seed decoration, shows how I work, jumping from one part to another, allowing every area to dry. There is a lot of fine brush work but also aspects of softening and building textures.

I sprayed some acorns gold, to add another colour accent to the arrangement and another little painting challenge for you to try.

To complete this tutorial, I encourage you to head over to my forum and watch the short tutorial film that I have posted there; I confess it's to encourage you to pop into the forum and see what other students are doing. It's a super friendly forum and I'm sure that seeing the students achievements will inspire you to keep practicing, playing, learning and developing your own skills.

This extra short film shows how I have added extra nuts in the background and completed the swag with some green ribbon either end.

I look forward to seeing your paintings and to say 'hi' in the forum.

Peace and happiness 
Billy
