It turned out much cuter than I thought , I kinda like it.
First I gessoed the canvas, let it dry and added some water to the Traditions paint in Blue and Violet. I used the paint water mix to make the background, The water makes it easier for the colours to mix a bit and makes the colours a bit lighter.
Next I used a glass paint marker in white to draw the x mas tree and coloured it white so I would have a white background to paint the tree on. I also used the marker to draw the snowy hills the tree stands on.
Than I used the green to paint the tree and red and white for the tree trunk. The snowflakes a dots made with a small paint brush and white paint. I mixed white with water to make the hills look more snow like (I wanted some of the blue and violet to shine through there). The snow also got a bit of Glamour Dust glitter paint in Ice Crystal.
I usde mattr varnish over the entire canvas at this point, because it would protect the painting so far just incase I needed to use a babt whipe in case I would mess up the decorating part of the tree :-)
I decorated the tree with red paint and added Craft Twinkles in Christmas red to give it a more xmassy look.
Next I added Craft Twinkles in christal all around the tree using a paint brush.
To make the tree stand out more I used paper effects in black pearl to outline the tree. Let it dry
The words Peace and Joy are stamped using black archival in on paper, I used red distress ink to match the paper with the canvas.
The words were cut out and glued onto the canvas using Decou Page Crystal glitter. To finishe I gave the canvas another layer of Decou Page Crystal glitter
