Simple Christmas Painting Ideas – DIY Canvas Art Tutorial

October 25, 2017 By Nathalie Villeneuve 10 Comments

Simple Christmas Painting Ideas DIY Canvas Art Tutorial Simple Christmas Painting Ideas for Hours of Fun!

I love offering Simple Christmas Painting Ideas video  and  DIY Canvas Art Tutorial! This is such a fun and relaxing activity. I’ve been  facilitating acrylic painting tutorials for beginners locally for the past 3 years. and what I’ve experienced in connecting with so many women has been an absolute dream come true, and the best has yet to come!

In this video I show you Simple Christmas Painting Ideas for a pretty DIY Canvas Art project. This painting workshop is great for beginners because it is simple and you have access to a traceable. When you transfer the drawing on your canvas, there is no drawing skills needed! You can focus on painting instead of drawing!

I came up with the concept and the composition of this new painting by drawing her first in my sketch pad. I like how I made her dress a harlequin pattern. It adds an element of festivity and originality.

DIY Canvas Art Tutorial From my Original Paintings

All my paintings are original concept and I usually draw first but sometimes I start directly on my canvas with paint.

I love to draw but that is usually what makes people shy away from painting! Well, when I first started  facilitating acrylic painting tutorials for beginners, I made sure to offer an alternative to the drawing part of this fun and relaxing activity. I learned the tracing technique when I went to school for graphic design. I am glad I found a way to help my painters with what is for many people the most dreading and of the art tutorial. I love seeing their faces light up when I show them the stencils! They all appreciate it so much and me too because once the lines are transferred, we can let the painting fun begin!

A Fun and Relaxing Activity

If you are looking for a good afternoon of fun and relaxing activity, you will enjoy this video. Most importantly this Simple Christmas Painting Ideas video  is the perfect acrylic painting tutorials for beginners because on top of not having to draw, there is no blending which makes this  DIY Canvas Art Tutorial even more fun!

Please share this article.video to people who might be looking to make their own DIY painting gifts this Holiday Season!

Note to artists: If you already have painting supplies, you can use them and let your creative juice flow! It’s always great to change the colors and make your artwork reflect your own decor.

    It’s been a long time since I’ve painted but the idea is starting to stir urges to return to it.
