How to paint a perfect white Christmas!
You will need:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Start by roughly sketching a wintry scene onto blue paper. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mix up some watered-down white paint... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
...and begin by painting the snow that's settled on the ground. Don't worry if some of the paper shows through - it'll add to the final effect! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Make the snow lighter in the foreground and darker in the distance. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Next, paint in picture details, like a fence... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
...trees, a wall and a log cabin in the distance. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now mix up some thick white paint and dab fresh snow where it would settle. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Don't forget to add a snowman! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Dab the paint on nice and thick on the trees... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
...the tops of the fences... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
...and the roof of the log cabin! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now mix up some pale blue paint to help the fresh snow look nice and fluffy. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can also use the pale blue paint to add some shading to the snowman. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Why not add in some footprints, too? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Finish off by dipping an old toothbrush into the runny white paint... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
...and flick onto the picture to create the effect of falling snow! Try it yourself! |
