Beginning around the middle of October Christmas starts to creep into our lives again. Take a good look at those decorations appearing around you. Use that to your advantage and see what the trends are this year for decorating.
Are you inclined to creative ventures? In the book, The Essential Window Painting Guide you will find the basics of the window painting technique and it will give you a peek at the procedures you need to know to draw, paint, and design images like the Holly Leaf Trio seen above.
These designs are simple for someone who can draw, but what if you can't draw or unsure how to start? Not everyone is an artist, but if you can follow simple instruction and you have the desire to learn basic elements The Essential Window Painting Guide can be your teacher. Repetition and practice will make you an artist if you will only put your mind to it.
In this tutorial I describe the simplest designs I know for the absolute beginner to use for paint decoration. The steps you need to take to apply them to window glass are spelled out for you and illustrated where possible.
The inspiration of the Christmas season has captured my attention for a few decades. I love everything that Christmas stands for and I take delight in the images that represent this special holiday. By learning how to paint windows using the techniques I have shared in The Essential Window Painting Guide, I hope to send you on a holiday adventure of your very own.
Happy Holidays!
