STEP 5: Branches, Leaves & Berries — Let Your Brush Wander
Now let your ornament bloom. Begin near the flowers you've already painted — let a stem grow, add a pair of leaves, a small curve with winter berries… and just keep going. Let your brush move slowly and intuitively.
There's no need to cover the entire ornament — you might leave space for a name, a heart, or a special message on the back.
Explore the photo gallery for ideas, but most of all — trust your own rhythm and sense of beauty:
Wishing you peaceful evenings with a brush in hand and soft music in the background. May this little bird bring joy to your winter days — and maybe even become a part of your family's festive traditions.
With love, Ivana
