Christmas Gnomes Gift - Dot painting

Christmas Gnomes Gift dot painting by the fireplace

This dot painting kit shows Mr and Mrs Claus, drawn as round, rosy cheeked Christmas gnomes in a red and a green pompom hat, leaning together over a tall green gift box tied with a big red bow.

A lit fireplace, candles and a hanging stocking glow warm behind them, with a lit tree and a frosty window completing the cosy living room scene. Draw nothing, mix nothing: a beginner can settle into December with just one marker. You work section by section, filling in the printed circles until the whole scene appears in front of you, no sketching skill required.

What is in the kit

Everything you need comes in one box, ready to open and start the same evening:

• Printed canvas: firm, finely detailed, with the full gnome scene already laid out in a pre printed circle pattern.
• Guide: one short page showing which marker goes where.
• Double tip markers:
  • 1.0 mm tip: for the green gift box, the hats and the fireplace stones.
  • 0.5 mm tip: for the white beards, the ribbon bow and the hat patterns.

Two gnomes worth hanging every December

Out every December, away in January, and every year it is the piece nobody else in the street has. Mr and Mrs Claus leaning over their present make a cheerful welcome for the hallway or the mantel, and the finished canvas slots easily into any existing Christmas display. The pompom hats and the rosy cheeks give the pair a warmth that suits a kitchen just as well as a living room.

It also travels well as a gift: wrap the finished piece for a grandparent, or give the unopened kit to a friend who likes a slow, screen free evening with a warm drink nearby. Either way, it's a gift that actually gets used instead of set aside, and it comes back out every year the tree does.

Two beards, two hats, one shared bow

The white beards stay light and airy while the hats, the box and the ribbon build up in dense, confident dots. The snowflake on the red hat and the little tree on the green one each get their own small rhythm, so the two faces stay easy to tell apart even from a distance. Keep the dots black throughout the beards so the texture reads as fluffy fur rather than flat shading.

Work the fireplace and the stocking last: a few deep, closely spaced dots in the background push the two gnomes forward and give the whole canvas a sense of glow, without you ever having to blend or shade anything by hand. The frosty window pane stays almost untouched, which keeps the warm half of the scene feeling warmer by contrast. Finish with the gift box ribbon so the bright red bow sits right where the two gnomes' eyes naturally land.
