12 Tags / Day 11: Dreaming of a White Christmas + a video!

Welcome back to Ellen Hutson’s 12 Tags of Christmas! Today is “my” day, and I chose “White Christmas” for my carol. And yep, I’m totally dreaming of a white Christmas — just like the ones I used to know from growing up in Ohio!

Since moving to Texas I hardly ever get to enjoy snow. I really miss it! So today I’m sharing techniques for making ALL your Christmases white — with white watercolor!

That’s Judy Garland up there, dreaming of a white Christmas…I have brown hair myself!

I’ve got TWO techniques to share with you — one for mixing color and another fun one to make a blizzard background!

Here are those colors that I used in the video — all are Daniel Smith!

  • Chinese white: you can get similar shades of colors mixing other paints with titanium white, however, Chinese white will blossom easily when dropped in – and those beautiful blossoms are what gives that frosty look!
  • Quinacridone coral: this is a warm red that I love to use on flowers, but quin coral also makes a great Christmas red.
  • Phthalo green (blue shade): mix this with white for a minty green – shown here on the holly.
  • Quinacridone rose: this cool pink mixes with white to give a beautiful blush that’s perfect for cheeks.

Be sure to let me know if ya have any questions!

This may look like a bunch of supplies, but that’s because I listed both sizes of the watercolor tubes when possible. (5 ml and 15 ml). :)
