Ornaments on Pink Canvas Painting

Create a statement-making holiday canvas with oversized ornaments and metallic accents. This contemporary twist on Christmas decor is easier than it looks! 

Instructions

Step 1: Paint the Background Using a large flat brush, paint the entire canvas with Hot Pink mixed with Titanium White to create a light pink. Apply 2-3 coats for full coverage, letting each coat dry between applications. 

Step 2: Sketch Ornament Circles Lightly sketch four large circles in varying sizes using pencil. Refer to the photo for placement. Position them at different heights to create visual interest. 

Step 3: Paint the Base Colors Fill in each ornament circle with your chosen color: Refer to photo for placement.  Use a medium flat brush and apply 2-3 coats for solid coverage. 

Step 4: Add Abstract Shapes With a medium round brush, paint organic, abstract shapes on each ornament using contrasting colors. Refer to the photo for placement. Use: 

• Titanium White blobs and circles 
• Hot Pink accents 
• Pure Orange spots 
• Deep Viridian shapes Keep shapes playful and irregular for a modern, hand-painted look. 

Step 5: Paint Ornament Caps At the top of each ornament, paint a small rectangular cap using Burnt Umber. Add a short loop or line extending upward for the hanger attachment. 

Step 6: Add Gold Hanging Strings Using a small round brush and FolkArt Treasure Gold, paint delicate lines extending upward from each ornament cap. Refer to the photo for placement. Vary the heights to create visual flow. 

Step 7: Paint Gold Accents Add Treasure Gold highlights to ornament caps and small dots around some of the abstract shapes for extra dimension and shine. 

Step 8: Refine Edges Use your base colors to clean up any uneven edges around the ornaments, creating crisp, clean circles. 

Step 9: Final Details Add small dots of Titanium White around ornaments for subtle confetti-like details. Step back and add any final touches for balance.
