Learn How to Paint "GIFT GIVING GNOME" with Acrylic - Paint & Sip - Step by Step Holiday Scene

- VIDEO DESCRIPTION - This painting tutorial will take you through easy to follow, step-by-step instructions on how to paint this super adorable seasonal holiday winter image of "Gift Giving Gnome" with acrylic paint. You'll learn simple drawing and painting techniques that will help you to create this cute character who is holding a giant present on his lap. With a large cozy fluffy hat, warm mittens and boots, he's ready to brave the cold elements that the winter season may bring. You'll learn how to create dimension in the body, head and box using various painting techniques to include stippling and blending and adding highlight and shadows in the proper places to create a 3-d illusion that will make the elements appear to pop right out of the canvas. The small elf like character will come to life with his hands holding tight to the gift and his round nose peeking out over the top of the box. Perhaps the present is too big for him to walk with and it has knocked him on his butt! Use your imagination as you create this illustrative piece. Perhaps you have him holding a candy cane, a birthday surprise, or a stuffed animal, maybe your box is blue or purple, or perhaps he has a striped or patterned hat. The long flowing beard will add movement to the painting and provide a soft cushiony place for the present to rest. This holiday image can be inspired by Christmas, or any special gift giving event that is meaningful to you. Let it be an enchanting addition to decorate your home or the walls of another. Using only 3 brushes and 6 colors we'll create this conversational masterpiece with a ridiculously charming sweet plush gnome cartoon figure. So let's get painting and let's get sipping!

You are so welcome Teresa, thanks for watching!
Lovely 😊
Thank you! 😊
I love it. However, I love me some gnomes🥰🥰🥰
Thank you for your content. I just finished painting this and was so pleased with results. You really make this painting much less intimidating. Appreciate you sharing your talents.
Thanks so much 😊
I thought I better comment before you run out of room for comments.
Goodness, already 573 views! Anyhow, I just found you on TH-cam last week and want to tell you how smart I think you are! Your step by step instructions are not only organized but also, the instructions are thorough! I finished the autumn leaves hanging on a clothesline, & Bad Hairday. After the xmas kitty with tangled string of lights, this one will be next. I appreciate that you use a limited palette which keeps things simple and doesn't cost your students a small fortune to paint. Plus, it's frustrating when you see something you want to paint. We want to paint it "Now' and not wait on a paint order. Good Work Michelle!
Thanks so much Allie. So glad that you're enjoying my teaching style and the designs. Have fun working your way through your favorites! Thanks for watching! ~Michelle

I did it along with you, came out pretty good. I really enjoyed doing it. Thanks.
Great job!
Painted along with the video and I thought about halfway through that mine would never be as cute as Michelle s. But when she and I added the highlights and shadow s it just suddenly came together. I am so pleased at the result. Its already been hung on the wall for Christmas. Thank you for sharing your skill .
It's all about the highlights and shadows! Thanks for painting with me.
Awesome
He is sooo precious! Your ideas and teaching style are wonderful. I am so thankful that I found your channel 1 year ago. You keep my paint brush dancing across my canvas!

I found you by accident but i can honestly say glad I did I love love love your videos
Thanks for finding me!
That wriggle cracked me up. I had to watch it a few times because it cracked me up, especially the karate move with your hands straight out. I needed that laugh so bad. Nome is too cute. 👏😁🤣
I know what I will be doing tonight :)
Lovely Michelle, Love this! I finished the Beagle and the broom today: the Beagle in the witch costume! So, cute. Of course, it pales in comparison to your creation. hahahah. You're the best. As always, lots of love and a big HOLLER!! LOVE, M XOXO
Thanks so much my HOLLERING Maurine!
🥳🥳🥳🥰🥰🥰😘😘😘
What brand of bristle brushes do you use? Mine don't seem to work like yours. Thanks!
Hi, I use a flat chubby bristle brush designed for students. They are not the best on the market, but I like the affect that I can get with them. There are several brands that make them, but I also them them on my website at the link below if you want to try one. Have fun painting, Michelle

LOL...You make it look so easy...then I try it and it is a HOT mess!!! :) Love watching and trying though.
Hot messes are good sometimes! lol Try another one and have fun!
What brand of paints do you use, looks so nice and creamy.
Hello, for these tutorials I'm using a thin bodied student grade paint from Blick Materials called Blickrylics. They don't have the best pigment, but I like the consistency for layering and blending affects. I sell small sample sizes of the colors I use on my website (link below) if you want to try them before you invest in the larger bottles. Yes, it is creamy!
Have fun painting!

Hi Michelle!! Could you maybe add a Valentines Day gnome?? My daughter loves them and would love to add it to her collection. :) Thank you for all you do!!
Hi Tricia, I am actually considering doing one in the next couple of weeks. Not 100% positive I will yet, so you'll have to keep your fingers crossed. Thanks for watching! ~Michelle
Is it okay if we change up the color of our own backgrounds?
Gi for it!
Well hello again Michelle.!!!!! No you didn’t just do ????oh!!!!!!yes you did just do it!!!!!!! Not a gnome !!!! Now the Christmas list is completed…lol. Heeheehee you are just the sweetest lovely person I have ever come across. Good job my bestie….but I haven’t yet seen anything you can’t do. Oh!!! I just got and idea. We need to see some outtakes at the end ….than I’d think you were human. Not just a beautiful sweet short smart and talented women.
Lol! We just had a funny out take today... my blow dryer's engine blew so we had to video tape me fake blow drying the canvas, which strangely tickled our funny bones, and we then caught the giggles and couldn't stop laughing! I also like how you had to throw in "short" into the kind description of me...lol again!
What acrylic paint do you all use and where do you buy it? We are going to attempt to paint one of Michelle’s Christmas pictures (not sure which one yet) when we all get together for Thanksgiving.
Hi, I'm using a thin bodied student grade paint from Blick Materials called Blickrylics. They don't have the best pigment, but I like the consistency for layering and blending affects.

Can I use your videos to teach a class?
Hi Beth, You can view the copyright and use rules at the link below for Michelle the Painter original designs. Have fun! berkshirepaintandsip.squarespace.com/license-copyright-info
I love this ! It’s so cute ! I’m definitely going to try this one !
This is adorable. I think I will try this. But I have never tried painting before.
@@LovesJESUS I’m 64 and just started so I’m not very good at it but Michelle is such a great teacher ! You should try it too !
Please do!
Go for it! Just have fun and enjoy the process!
@@michellethepainter. I bought the 16x20 canvas. When you say prince do you mean painted white? I have never before and I’m 68 kinda late to start but I would love it if I could.
Love watching you paint. Want to try and paint by following your videos. I can’t find this kit on your website. Can you help??
Hi Teri, thank you for your interest in purchasing a kit. Here is the link: berkshirepaintandsip.squarespace.com/shop Have fun!
@@michellethepainter. thank you so much. I found that site, but on the DIY kits I didn’t see any of the winter/Christmas kits. Are the 7 listed the only ones that you have??
@@tericundiff6723 Hi Terri, there should be a lot more than that. I think you were looking at the main page. There are seven images but they each represent a category of paintings. Look at the Dove and it says "holiday", and click on that one and it will take you to all the holiday paintings. I hope this helps.
@@michellethepainter. YES, that does help!! Thank you so very very much!
Michelle. Could you either do a video or point us in the right direction for quick and easy ideas for putting our canvases in a frame? Thank you for maybe considering the idea. I know you would rather be painting, but any suggestions would be helpful.
Hi Allie, That's a great suggestion. I have given it some thought and may do an educational video for that at some point, however, I typically post my educational videos for the members of my Patreon group. I have a live educational session once a month to cover topics such as this. If you'd like to see examples of other sessions I've done, you can view the library at the link below. Have fun! ~Michelle
