Hey guys! Happy blogmas. I painted for the first time yesterday in about 12 years.. I have never been a huge painting fan but I love to draw and I haven’t done much of that lately either.
I saw a cute gnome on Pinterest and decided to go for it! I had a blank canvas so why not.
This painting was super easy.. I took a couple different grey colors and dipped in one then the other and then painted and repeated that process to get the background the way I did.
Then I painted the hat and layered. This takes time because you have to wait for the paint to dry but it’s super cute and worth it in the end.
Next came the beard, nose and legs when the beard dried. When those were done I painted his shoes and touched up the beard then designed the hat.
The main idea with all of this is to let the paint completely dry before painting over it.
I wanted to start getting more Christmas decor out and I thought this would be a cute addition to my bare walls haha. I hung it in our bedroom and we named him Herald. It’s pretty fitting if you ask me.
