Next, use your round brush and titanium white to paint windows and a door on the front face of the cabin. ![]() You can also add more details such as a snowman! If it isn’t, try adding more white into your green. ![]() Your tree color should show up relatively opaque from mixing the titanium white into that green. Make sure you keep everything inside that circle! Then paint several trees around the cabin. Start at the top of the tree and stroke down forming a conical shape of the pine tree. Then paint the tiny Christmas trees using the 4 round brush. Mix a light to medium green on your palette by mixing about 1 part green, 1 part yellow (optional) and 1 part titanium white. Load hooker’s green hue permanent and titanium white on your palette. Your snow should slightly overlap the top slither of the roof. Then paint snow on top of the roof using titanium white. Then use the #4 round brush to paint the chimney with any of the browns. I decided to add burnt Sienna because I didn’t like the cool brown of the raw umber and wanted more warm tones in it. Use the tip of your 12 bright brush and lightly paint in horizontal strokes in between some of the black lines. Optional: use “burnt Sienna” to add a reddish brown to the cabin. Tip: if your 12 bright brush is too big for this cabin, use a smaller round brush or even a paint pen to help you with those horizontal lines. Start at the peak of the roof and work your way down to the base of the cabin. These lines can be very loose and don’t have to go all the way across. Paint horizontal lines to create the “log texture”. We will be adding more layer and detail on this cabin. It’s okay if the paint is thin right now. You can vary the color a little bit by loading your brush in some white or pure brown and letting it blend on the canvas with your golden brown. Then paint horizontal stokes to fill in the shape of the cabin. Use the tip of the brush to outline the roof lines and sides of the cabin. This allows the color to somewhat mix on the canvas as well to create some variation. Tip: I often don’t mix my color completely. To create a golden light brown, mix about 1 part yellow, 1 part brown, 1 part white. Load your palette with raw umber, titanium white, cadmium yellow medium and burnt Sienna. Then paint the cabin using the 12 bright brush (or a smaller brush if preferred because this is a small area). Draw a simple frontal view of a house with a triangular roof and a simple chimney on top of the roof. Then use a piece of chalk to draw the cabin. Paint a small area of snow with a wavy edge on the top. Use the #4 round brush to paint the bottom of the inside of the globe. We will be doing another coat of paint for the snow in a later step. You can have a lot of the black canvas still showing through. This is a relatively thin layer of paint. Start at the top edge of the “snow line” and paint in horizontal strokes to the bottom of the canvas. Add a thin layer of titanium paint to the snow area on the ground. If needed, add more black around the snow globe. Keep this above the snow line.īlend the circular strokes so that it is lighter on the edges and darkest closest to the snow globe. Paint in circular strokes around the snow globe closer to the edge of the canvas. Load only a small amount of this medium gray onto the tip of your flat brush. Mix a medium to dark gray by mixing about 3 parts black to 1 part white. Load titanium white and mars black onto your palette. It does give your background a little extra contrast. This step adds some lighter color on the sides of the canvas that fade to the black around the snow globe. This is an optional step and you can skip it if you want. Paint Light Color On Sides Around Snow Globe Then draw a curved line at the base of the snow globe. This will make it look like the snow globe is on the snow! Then draw a wavy line that goes from one end of the canvas to the next just behind the base. Tip: you can use a ruler to help you line up the base evenly on the bottom of the circle. Draw a curved line for the base and two diagonal lines that meet up to the circle. Trace this circle in the exact center of the canvas. This circle is about 6″ in diameter, however, you can do larger or smaller if needed! ![]() Next, you will be drawing the composition of the snow globe and it’s super easy! I found a circle (which happened to be a bowl) and traced it with a piece of chalk. My favorite thing to do is use a mess up painting to recycle it! Simply use “Mars Black” or “Apple Barrel Matte Black” paint and coat your canvas with one layer of black paint. You can use a canvas that is already painted or primed with black. Paint canvas black and draw snow globe with chalk
