Prep:1. Sand; seal; sand again. Base coat with Pure Black (two coats if necessary).
2. Transfer line drawing with white transfer paper.
Trees:
1. Load small flat with Blending Gel; blot. Load same brush with Hauser Green Dark;
paint trees (hint: Trees are pointy and narrow at the top and gradually widen toward the
base). Clean brush; squeeze dry.
2. Add middle value of snow to trees with Dove Gray on a small flat brush. (Careful. Do not cover the entire tree with mid value snow). Clean brush; squeeze dry.
3. Add highlight snow on the trees, with Warm White. Shade snow with Skyline, on the left side of trees.
Snow:
1. Paint snow shadows first, with a brush–mix of skyline + Dove Gray + a tiny bit of Pure Black. Use short, overlapping horizontal strokes.
2. As you paint away from the shadows, pick up a little Warm White and continue.
3. Pick up even more Warm White on the same brush as you finish the snow.
Snowflake Stars on Top of Trees:
1. Dip stylus tip into Warm White; tap on snowflake start on top of trees.
Peace Letters:
1. Use 5/0 liner and Skyline to paint PEACE. Add thick Warm White to top edges of letters to indicate snow.
Trim and Snowflakes:
1. Use fingertip to edge ornament with Warm White.
2. Thin Warm White with water to a thick creamy consistency. Use a stiff bristle brush to
flip snowflakes onto ornament (always test first to make sure the consistency is correct).
To Finish:
1. Dry thoroughly.
2. Paint entire ornament with one or two coats of Hologram Glitter.
3. Display on a small easel or drill holes for wire or ribbon hanger.
