The Holiday Season will be here soon, lights will be on and it\u2019s time to think about some new decorations! If you already know me a little\u2026 you can imagine I\u2019m playing with Decorative Painting to create my own Christmas decoration!
This is another Free Pattern,<\/a> so consider it as my Christmas present for you! \ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is another design I painted for Live with Art,<\/strong> an initiative that I already told you about some months ago. For the first edition I decided to paint one of my hedgehogs (you can find the Free Pattern here<\/a>), while this time I wanted to share a design with my textured background technique.
I really like creating textured backgrounds because I think this gives some movement and dimension to the final design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a very easy and fun technique I created, and I also used it in other designs: Winter Wonder,<\/a> Fall\u2026in Love,<\/a> Welcome Spring<\/a> and Summer Memories.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Actually, building a textured background is much easier than it seems!!! More and more often, we think a painting technique is really difficult, but in the end it\u2019s absolutely not and we even have fun if we play with it! And I must tell you\u2026 having fun is the most important thing!!!\ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What? Are you thinking I am kidding? Well\u2026 on my YouTube Channel<\/a> you can find two different tutorials on this: how to create a textured background<\/a> and how to put color on it.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides these specific tutorials, I have other on the channel that could help you painting this design: how to shade by floating colors,<\/a> how to highlight with dry brushing<\/a> and how to use stencils.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This free project has most of the basic Decorative Painting techniques and it\u2019s perfect if you are a beginner and you want to practice. However, it\u2019s suitable also if you are an intermediate or advanced painter and you want to try to create and paint on a textured background.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
