Warm windows, an iced roof, and a gingerbread friend turn this Christmas scene into the kind of project that makes an afternoon feel festive. Paint it slowly with a favorite holiday playlist or gather around the table and make it part of a Christmas craft night.
Why You’ll Love It
Every Wood Canvas begins with an original ChicaTiza composition, thoughtfully designed to give you a strong starting point while leaving room for your own creative choices. Because the artwork is created on real maple wood, you can leave portions of the natural grain visible or explore a range of artistic finishes. ChicaTiza Paint can be thinned into translucent watercolor washes and stain-like color, layered for rich opaque coverage, or built into thick, impasto-style texture. It blends beautifully with water or an oil medium, giving you room to combine techniques and make the finished artwork your own.
What Is It?
Wood Canvas by ChicaTiza is a complete DIY wood painting kit that transforms an original ChicaTiza design into artwork you can create at home. The composition is lightly etched onto a real maple wood canvas, providing clear lines to follow while preserving the natural character of the wood and the creativity of painting it yourself. Each design is cut into its own coordinating shape, making the completed piece distinctive wooden wall art or tabletop décor.
What’s Included
The kit includes one lightly etched maple wood canvas, a full-color reference card, written instructions, ample ChicaTiza clay paint, paintbrushes, glue, finishing medium, and the appropriate hanger or display stand. Everything needed to paint, assemble, finish, and display the artwork arrives in the kit.
About the Design
The Gingerbread Cottage design depicts a warmly lit gingerbread house with an iced roof, chimney, arched front door, and glowing windows. A smiling gingerbread person stands beside the cottage, while a decorated evergreen tree, golden star, round ornaments, moonlit blue sky, and colorful winter ground complete the Christmas scene. The artwork is presented inside a 12-inch maple wood canvas cut in the silhouette of a handled cookie sheet.
How to Use
Use the lightly etched outlines and full-color reference card to bring the composition to life. Apply translucent layers where you want the maple grain to show, use fuller coverage for bold color, or combine painting techniques to create depth and texture. Once the artwork has dried, apply the included sealer and attach the hanger or stand for display.
How to Care For
Allow the finishing medium to cure completely before handling or displaying the artwork. Dust it gently with a soft, dry cloth; do not soak it or clean it with household sprays. Display it indoors or in a protected, covered location away from prolonged moisture and severe weather.
