Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Capture the warmth and charm of an old-fashioned Christmas with over a dozen step-by-step projects to paint as holiday gifts and decorations. With her loose, painterly style, Pat Wakefield offers painters of all skill levels a spectrum of delightful projects ranging from winter scenes to whimsical snowmen to holiday flora to good old Santa.

What's more, readers can choose projects to fit their painting schedules. Porcelain ornaments can be completed in an hour or two. Readers with more time might choose to paint a Santa portrait on a handmade stocking or a "night before Christmas" scene on a shabby chic wooden chair.

Each project includes a traceable pattern, a materials list and a color swatch chart so all readers can successfully create timeless works of Christmas cheer.
