Sharron has been very busy the last few months painting new buildings for her Christmas village. I too enjoy painting, but my hand is none too steady and I end up getting too frustrated with detail work. I can see in my head what I want, but can’t seem to make it happen. On a recent trip to Michael’s though, I found this Santa ornament that looked like a good cross between 1 color easy and super detailed hard.
I’ve been trying to find some time to start and finally couldn’t take it anymore yesterday. During my lunch break, I digitally painted him. :-D
I can’t decide if I should paint eyes on him or not. He looks good both ways though.
Last night when we’d gotten all settled in, Sharron was working on a project in her office and that gave me a good opportunity to bust the paints out. I started with the green background color. I also painted the back of the “ball” he’s perched on the same green color. Most likely I’ll have to do a second coat before I’m happy with it and then I’ll move on to the red! Wish me luck!
