Description

It’s Christmas Eve, and Father Christmas is busy reading the very latest letters! In this heart-warming scene, he’s sitting peacefully in his chair with a little stack of letters in his hands, completely absorbed. Right beside him, a sack brimming with envelopes is waiting its turn to be opened. Behind him, a beautiful Christmas tree twinkles and warms the whole room, while stars sparkle through the window.

Tips and tricks

🖌️ Try mixing bright colours for the tree baubles — they’ll really pop. 🌟 Add a touch of sparkle to the starry sky with glitter or gold paint. ✉️ Colour the letters and envelopes in pastel shades (cream, pale yellow, or even soft red/green) so they don’t blend into Santa’s white beard. 🌑 Add a light grey or brown shadow just under the sack and on the side away from the light to give the scene more depth.
