We’re past halfway in the 24 Tags of Christmas of 2019 – so it’s time for Santa’s Face to make an appearance! It’s a brand new stamp from Colorado Craft Company and it’s hyooooooge! I am stoked to color it a bunch of times for my Christmas cards in all kinds of mediums – here I tackle it in watercolor pencils!
Did you know? Santa is a painter!
And I’m pretty sure I haven’t told anyone this, but…I’ve been painting with Santa this year. And he looks just like this stamp! He’s a rather famous Seattle Santa, and he happens to be a plein air painter; I met him at a Toastmasters group on the peninsula, and he invited me to join them, so once in a while I drive out there at oh-dark-thirty to paint! Go see his viral video HERE.
And come back to watch my video too:

This stamp is such a great looking Santa! Gonna make tons of cards with these this year….
Four tags, ready for the tag prize stash!

Love watching you work. So relaxing. Thanks for all the tips and tricks you share.
I love your wok and quite often i take your advise about materials but i am a full set syndrome person as well and i want it all, but my great mentor, I LOVE MY INKTENSE PENCILS and they lobe me. We still love you as well.
They’re gorgeous! Love the background color.
I have enjoyed the entire season, and your portrait of Santa brought tears to my eyes. Incredible.
I am always memorized by watching you water colour
Oh that’s a wonderful Santa. Yes, I was one of those people saying ‘that’s way too much color’, but when you added the dark background it all came together beautifully. Thanks so much for the watercolor lesson.
I’m amazed with all the dark color you used . They’re beautiful
Love the tea strainer tip Sandy, amazing painting! Love this tag!
such a beautiful Santa
