Paint a joyful collection of hanging ornaments in bright red, hot pink, blush, emerald, forest, sage, lime and gold. Loose curved brushstrokes and small highlights create shine without needing perfect circles.
Supplies
Canvas or acrylic paper, acrylic paints, flat and round brushes, pencil, water, white paint and metallic gold paint (or golden yellow).
Six simple steps
1. Make a soft backdrop. Brush on warm ivory with a few pale pink or sage strokes. Let dry.
2. Sketch the ornaments. Place circles and teardrops at different heights, leaving breathing room.
3. Block in bright colors. Paint each shape red, pink, green or gold and let dry.
4. Add depth and shine. Paint darker curved strokes on one side and lighter curves on the other.
5. Play with patterns. Add curved stripes or gold dots; keep some ornaments simple.
6. Finish with gold. Add small caps, thin hanging lines and loose bows. Let dry fully.
Tip: Follow each ornament shape with curved brushstrokes. A few white highlights make the colors glow. Try emerald beside lime, cranberry beside hot pink, and blush beside warm gold.
