How to draw a Christmas tree with stencils and loaded with hand painted charm!
Creating a Christmas tree image from scratch would be challenging for most. Here's how to draw a Christmas tree using stencils as the main template, then loaded with hand painted details on top, giving this festive tree a true homespun touch!
Supplies:
- Christmas Tree Seedling stencil
- Merry Christmas and Decorations stencil
- reclaimed wood planks
- Americana Decor Art paint in Georgia Clay
- Fusion Mineral Paint - Little Lamb
- Fusion Mineral Paint - Coal Black
- Fusion Mineral Paint - Carriage House (green)
- Fusion Mineral Paint - Parchment (greyish white)
- Fusion Mineral Paint - Woodwick
- Stencil brush (I love dome-tipped)
- 2 inch angle brush by Fusion Mineral Paint
- Artist brushes
- Masking tape
Instructions:
- Cut boards to fit the total tree stencil which measures: 11" wide x 28" tall. The boards in this tutorial measure 16"wide x 48" tall total.
- Attach two horizontal support boards at top and bottom with screws.
- Paint boards in Fusion Mineral Paint in Parchment.
- Position Christmas Tree Seedling stencil (tree image only) in the middle of the boards. Secure with masking tape running along left side of stencil to create a door hinge effect.
- Evergreen branches: stencil in Fusion's Carriage House. Stencil a lighter green on top to highlight the branches. Hand paint pine needles in lighter and darker shades of green to contrast.
- Trunk: Stencil in Fusion's Woodwick. Hand paint left side edges with a darker shade, and the right side a lighter shade to enhance.
- Bucket: Stencil in Fusion's Little Lamb. Stencil a darkened version along outer edges. Dry brush a rusty effect around edges and overall if desired.
- Lettering: Stencil lettering in Georgia Clay. Stencil a darkened tone along the bottoms of the letters to enhance.
- Stencil decorations with Merry Christmas And Decorations stencil. Enhance each one with hand painted details. (see video)
