In this class I will teach you how to use two acrylic painting techniques to create a truly one-of-a-kind Christmas ornament. And of course, we’ll use modeling paste to create some nice texture.

Together we will paint a ceramic ornament inspired by the beautiful winter berries that pop up outside during this time of year.

Two Texture Painting Techniques you will learn:

How to use a piping bag to create berry shapes.
How to create textured leaves using a pointed palette knife.

Who might enjoy this class:

Anyone who might want to create a one-of-a-kind ornament for their own tree.
Someone looking to make a special handmade gift.
This class is great for all levels. Beginners are welcome, however some of the techniques might take a little practice.

I’ve included a few resources that might help you as you paint:

A supply list so that you don’t need to write down each supply from the video. I’ve tried to include details on this list to help with any questions you might have.
A bonus guide to packing and shipping your ornaments. This has been a process of trial and error for me and I’m giving you all my tips to make the process easier for you.
Access to my Texture Painting for Beginners class, which will introduce you to modeling paste options and several texture painting techniques.

To make your ornament, you’ll need these supplies:

A plain ceramic ornament
Acrylic paint
Brushes
A pointed palette knife
Pretty ribbon
Acrylic varnish
A piping bag
Modeling paste

We’ll walk through each step together so that you feel confident with the process and excited to create more ornaments in your own style. You’ll end this class with a beautiful heirloom ornament to hang on your Christmas tree or give as a gift.
