Instructions to Paint your own Gnome with a Ghost Wreath Rail

This is quick and easy guys, let’s crack into it. First you are going to start by grabbing a small brush and white paint and paint the ghost white all over. Keep in mind, it is okay to paint over the lines. They are there to act as your guide and you will most likely see through your paint so you can come back and add your details in.
After your ghost is done you can grab your grey paint and start to fill in his beard. I would recommend that you try not to color outside the lines, if you do it will make it difficult for the outside outline to be visible and follow along
Next grab your purple and start filling in his outfit
Onto the hat! Grab your lime green and fill in his hat. It is okay to cover up the patch on the hat, you can free hand a square later. Grab some orange and color in the little ball at the end of the hat. Once the lime green is dry use that same orange color to create a patch, nothing fancy, just a square will do.
Then grab the peach and color in his nose.
Then once all is dry, grab your black acrylic paint marker and outline your gnome. This is where you can get your most creative and give your gnome some detailing. Add in some lines to his nose around his beard.
Don’t worry I didn’t forget about his mittens and shoes! Once you have outlined them color them in with your black paint
And then youre ready to decorate with all of the spooky things!!
