Have you ever decorated a gingerbread house for Christmas? Our Gingerbread House holiday painting project is just like that, except Sarah Cray is using gouache instead of edible construction materials. Learn how to mix gouache colors, like browns, oranges and pinks, mentally place the subject (before actually painting), add gently falling snowflakes (or a snow flurry!) and twinkly stars all before you build your house! Embrace the wonky with a freehand house design, add a scalloped rood, gumdrop candy decor, candy and cane edges! This whimsical gingerbread house makes a darling Christmas craft and is easily customizable.

This year, we're celebrating the holiday season with four Special Edition Holiday painting projects using gouache. Each painting lesson features step-by-step instruction that can easily be customized into your own holiday craft, Christmas card or piece of DIY holiday decor to be given as a handmade Christmas gift. Happy Holidays from all of us at Let's Make Art!
