Let's paint a cute, little Charlie Brown-type Christmas tree on a bokeh light background! When we're done, I'm going to show you how to install battery-powered lights on a canvas, and how to keep them from falling back out again. This is a super fun project for the whole family!
I’m painting on a 12x16-inch stretched canvas, but you can paint on any type and size of canvas you like.
