It only takes a little bit of time, card stock or thin cardboard like cereal boxes or face tissue boxes with pretty patterns, old Christmas cards just about anything that you like the look of or can be painted is fair game! Glue gun and glue sticks, craft knife, scissors, metal edged ruler, white glue or decoupage glue, and the glitter of your choice. I used ultra fine glitter on my examples.

Here is my template pattern to get you started.

Do you #lovewinterart?

I sure do #lovewinterart! I'm playing with the great folks at the Creative Arts Collaboration this week from December 9-13. Anything winter art is the theme.

My project for this awesome event is a sweet little snowman..... Trapped in a Snowglobe! I have even created a traceable snowglobe pattern for you if you want to paint it too and it can even be a coloring page if you have little ones that want to do the same art as you!

Here's the Traceable/coloring sheet that you can download to your computer and print out so you can follow along!

To trace on to the canvas just print out on regular paper, rub the BACKSIDE of the paper with chalk or pencil then lay the chalk side down on the canvas and trace over the lines with a ball point pen to transfer the image to the canvas!

Here's the finished painting-

Autumn Birch

My Newest painting inspired by Cinnamon Cooney the Art Sherpa on YouTube The Autumn Birch tree.

I love the colors and the angle that she chose to paint and that she shares the step by step on how to accomplish it.

This is my version of her tree. As an artist we can be inspired and we can follow directions when we have to, but gee, it's even more fun when you start finding your oven voice in the artistic choir!

I hope you have a glorious day and get out and do something creative!
