If you don’t follow me on Facebook or Instagram and you enjoy watching these types of how-to videos, be sure to head on over there now and like my page and follow. Last week I did a Live video on both accounts and it was such fun. Although I definitely enjoy sharing what I can I absolutely loving being able to talk with you on the lives through your comments.
I use a mixture of acrylic paints and latex paint from any paint store.
I rarely use craft paints in my canvas paintings but I loved using Martha Stewart’s Gold as some added glitz on these to make them festive for the holidays!
These Christmas Mini’s make the perfect gift for your friends, family or teacher! They are great for decorating your home as shelf sitters or hanging on a gallery wall.
Here’s a complete list all the art tools and supplies I used in this video.

Hi
could you show more on how to paint the canvas and what colors did you use ?
Thank you for sharing!
I’m loving the paint video for the nativity. Did you explain how you got all the layers for the background? I’m wondering if I somehow skipped over it of if it wasn’t discussed. Thanks, Bev
Hi Beverly, thank you so much for watching. Because this was a live video I put on YouTube, I only videod the actual painting. The underneath layers is just a texture you can get from any art store applied to the canvas before starting your art. Thank you again.
