In today’s tutorial, I walk you through how to paint a decorative Fiat painting with gold and flowers step-by-step. A great project for your Catholic small group or family!
Canvas, Board, or thick paper of your size choice (I used an 8×10” Artist’s Loft Canvas from Michael’s) Dick Blick and Master’s Touch (Hobby Lobby) are also great canvas options Acrylic Paint (I used Lamp Black, Magenta, Pthalocyanine Green, Titanium White, and Metallic Gold Artist’s Loft Paints) (Artist’s Loft, Master’s Touch, Dick Blick and Liquitex are all great cost-effective brands. Brands like Craft Smart and DecoArt can be too thin depending on the color) If you want a non-permanent water soluble option for little kids, I highly recommend gouache or tempera paints. My kids love these gouache sets: Paint brushes (One big and one small, though a medium sized option could be nice too) Water Paper Towels Palette (or paper plates) Apron or a Shirt that you wouldn’t mind getting messy Chalk or a Pencil Optional: Hair Dryer
Once acrylic paint dries, it is permanent. If you get paint on your clothes, try to wash it out as soon as possible. I like to use Murphy’s Oil (Pine Sol, nail polish remover, or isopropyl alcohol work too) and the abrasive part of a sponge to scrub paint out of clothing. If it has dried, soak it in a little bit of one of the solutions listed above for at least 10 minutes before scrubbing off the hardened paint.

I had the honor of creating the illustrations for Colleen Pressprich’s newest book, The Jesse Tree for Families. I truly believe this will be a great resource for your family this Advent and Colleen graciously sat down for a short interview (and her sweet kids joined in too).

Here’s a look inside the children’s book I illustrated: The Jesse Tree for Families by Colleen Pressprich. This is a great resource that your family can use during Advent in preparation for Christmas!
This book was a labor of love for both Colleen and myself. It was years in the making with publishing delays, but it’s finally here and I truly think it will be a gift for your family. Colleen did a great job of making the Jesse Tree tradition easy and accessible for families.
From December 1-24th, you read a short passage about a biblical figure or one of the O Antiphons. There is a “Note for Parents” section that helps provide extra context as well as some optional conversation starters. The best thing about the book is that it comes with 2 sets of Jesse Tree ornaments that you can cut out and hang on your tree. I included a quick tutorial in my YouTube video showing 2 different options you can try out to make your ornaments more of an heirloom quality.
