How To:

Step 1:

Begin by using a pencil to sketch out Santa’s face. The pencil marks will help you stay on track with the detail when painting.

Step 2:

Next, paint on all of the white details using Silk All-In-One Mineral Paint in the color Whitecap. The white details include Santa’s beard, hair, his open eye, the brim of his hat, and the ball on the end of his hat. After that, use the color Apricot to paint on his face. Then, mix a bit of the Barn Red and Whitecap to create a light pink to paint the split wooden ball detail that will be used for his nose.

Step 3:

Next, use the color Barn Red to paint on his hat. Finally, use the color Anchor to add details that will give Santa some dimension.  Also, be sure to finish off his eyes and cheeks.  I used the same mix of Barn Red and Whitecap as I used for his nose on the cheek details. I added the appearance of “fluff” to his beard and hat, dots with the end of my paintbrush, and outlined to the entire piece where needed.
