DIY Hand Painted Church Supplies:

• Scrap Piece of Wood
• Gulf by Dixie Belle Chalk Paint

• Cotton by Dixie Belle Chalk Paint
• VooDoo Gel Stain in Tobacco Road
• Round Dixie Belle Brush

DIY Hand Painted Church Tutorial:

• To begin, you will create the sky portion of the painting by dipping one side of your round brush into the color Cotton and the other in The Gulf.  Once your brush is loaded with the paint, use a swirling motion to add the color to the top portion of your piece of scrap wood.  As you add more paint and move toward the lower portion of your board, load more of the color Cotton to your brush and less of the color The Gulf.  Swirl and blend it all the way to the bottom.  Let dry.
• PRO TIP:  Always damper your brushes with your Spray Bottle before you add paint to them.
• Now you will begin drawing the church.  This will be done with the color Cotton.  Watch the video below for help creating the shape of your church.
• Next, dip a liner brush into the color Burlap and add some water to create an ink consistency.  Use that mixture to lightly outline the church and to add a cross to the top of the steeple.

• Continue to use the color Burlap and add a door to your church.  If you have some VooDoo Gel Stain, you can finger paint a little onto the door to add dimension.  Be sure to also use the Cotton to add a doorknob.
• Next, use The Gulf to draw and fill in a stained glass window above the door and on the steeple.  To add the stained glass look, apply dots of Cotton, Burlap, Mint Julep and The Gulf and then use your pinky finger to mash the paint in order to create a marbled effect.  Let that dry and then use the watered down Burlap and your liner brush to outline your windows.
• Finally, use the wooden end of your brush with the Mint Julep and Cotton to pounce some greenery around the base of the church.  Once you have your dots of paint in place, use your pinky to mash the paint around to create the shrub.  I also added the top of a tree to one side of my piece.
