Hi followers! My latest UnicornPostbox blog post is progression photos of an amateur Christmas pub painting winter stag, hope you like! 🥰🥰

We began by outlining the shape of where the stag’s head would be, a sort of love heart, with leaf like ears and a delicate graceful neck. We proceeded to paint the background a gorgeous glittery gold. Flecks of white paint were dotted about to give the illusion of snowdrops. Strong curved brown antlers were constructed, with white paint highlights.  Left then was to add detail to the stag’s face, a cute golden mushroom nose, black girlie eyelash flicks, golden inner ears, soft light brown strokes to distinguish the fur etc, the face was also puffed out to more of an oval shape, more accurate a portrayal … and here is the finished painting:

This was a relatively simple and very enjoyable pub painting 😊😊 I chose a unisex name, Sydney, as I realise stags are male but I think she looks very feminine so shall identify as female! 😄😄 I think she’s rather adorable 🥰

For my next UnicornPostbox blog post, I am on with a unicorn diamond art 💎 🎨 but I hope to do a few more before Christmas 🎄 and maybe other creative endeavours too, so watch this space 😜😜

Thank you as always for taking the time to read/view, it is very much appreciated 🥰 Lots of love, Lauren xx
