Hello! This is the third vlog. On the first day I showed you how to set up these planks. You can decide to paint colors or stain. I decided to go with stain. On the instructions in these stain cans, it’ll say you need 8 hours to let it dry. I was hoping that I could do the entire project in a single day, but I needed to delay for another day. That’s fine—it’s important that you make sure these planks are dried so that you can have an easier time painting over it. You can use a template that I sent/attached it for you. It’ll be easy to draw with a template. You don’t have to be perfect. Just follow the template and trace. Just focus on drawing a half of the face. Then you gotta draw the antler and ear, and then be done with it by drawing the hoover at the end. Use the template that I’ve attached, and draw or trace it by using the template. I use the chalk to outline the drawing. Once that’s been completed, you just paint the head, body, and hoover first. I’ll go ahead and paint it dark brown or tan. It’s really up to you! I’ll show you in the next video of what it looks like.

Ok, see? Go ahead and paint the body, head, and hoof brown. Go with the first coat, maybe a second coating once it dries. Use your judgment.

Follow the lines (outline). Now let me paint the body. Oh, painting is pretty fun.

 

Now let’s paint the head. Don’t worry about the nose and eyes. Go ahead and cover them up for now. See? The head, body, and hoof are now painted. Oh, I forgot the ear. Let me paint it up too. Just a small ear like that. Keep it round because we want to paint the inner ear with light pink or light tan. 

 

Ok, that’s completed! I think I’ll need to apply the second coating later on when it’s dry. Now you’ll need a can of water. This is important. Okay. I’m excited about this project. It’s my first time doing this! Okay, I need to paint the antler. I’m thinking off-white as the color. Maybe ivory. Let me check.

The woman is holding up two bottles of white paint.]

 

Maybe this will do! Or this. Okay, I’m gonna shut this down and show you the next video!

 

Okay, now I’ve finished the first coating. Now I am going to focus on the antler (she is pointing to the antler). You don’t have to be perfect! No worries! I want to show you the progression. I’m going to add a black outline to make it pop out. I’m going to use ivory color. Ready?

I’m going to just draw it the best I can. A reindeer has various and different shapes of antlers. You can use a chair to elevate you up if you wish. If you didn’t cover it with chalk, that’s fine. When it’s dry you can wash it off with paper towel. I’m going to paint it again to make it feel more bold. Ok there it is. Now I’m going to take an opportunity and fill in the inner ear. Hmm. Light tan or light pink for the inner ear? I think I’m going with the light tan coloring. I’m going to mix it up with ivory to make the color even more lighter.

I love mixing colors.

 A light tan color here. 

 

[id: Kim paints the inner ear of the reindeer]

 

See that? Looks pretty good! Now, for the hooves - those are typically darker. Maybe black.  It doesn’t have to be perfect, just so that it’s covered. Now, paint it, then look at how to draw the ILY shape - to show the back of the hoof. So i’ll start with black now

 

See here, the brown paint is drying up

 

[id: Kim kets black paint and fillis in the whole circle where the hoof is]

 

So fill that in.

 

Leave that, and let it dry.

 

Now it’s time to double coat the brown paint. Go ahead and take care of that. I’ll stop this video, and start another one after I’m done. 

 

[id: a picture of the two planks with the reindeer outline. Then, the video starts again with Kim in front of the painting - which now has outlines of the reindeer’s face and hoof dawn in white]

 

I added the second coat of brown, and I did the same for the inner ear, the second coating is done. Then, I got some chalk, and drew in the hoof. If you look at the template - copy the drawing of the ILY and the facial features. 

 

So, a reindeer with a red nose or a black nose - that’s up to you. I picked red because I love Rudolph! Rudolph was my favorite character growing up. I remember watching the movie, and it meant a lot to me. So I picked red, in memory of that. 

 

[id: Kim adds the red paint to the white plate]

 

Who loves paint!  Get your red

 

[id: Kim paints the circular half-nose red]

 

You might need a second coating. Use red or black - it’s up to you! 

 

Now, you see the smile, and the eyes. We’ll do white for the eyes

 

I’ve been using this size 

 

[id: kim shows a paint brush with bristles the width of an index finger, and paints the one oval shape eye completely white]

 

This may need a second coating as well. 

 

Now black for the eyebrows and smile. 

 

Black again. Let me test this line...I think this is too thick. I’ll use a thinner brush

 

[id: Kim gets and shows a much thinner brush]

 

I’ll  test this...it’s ok

 

[id: Kim paints the half-smile and one eyebrow black]

 

I know I might paint fast, but that’s me. You can take your time, and go a little slower. I’m pretty fast. I’ve gotten pretty confident in my painting! 

 

So the smile here - it’s up to you. You can paint it like this, or connect it up to the nose. It’s up to you - I included both in the template for you to choose from.

 

Alright, now the eyebrow. 

 

ALright? See that? 

 

I’m going to turn the camera off now, and in the next video, I’ll show you how to paint the hoof. 

 

CONCLUSION of the first half

 

BEGINNING of the second half

 

Alright - ready for the ILY part? We’ll paint it white, because the reindeer has been out in the snow, and has stepped on an ILY stamp, which is stuck to its hoof. Y’know? Like magic! Spreading the love. 

 

So we’ll use white - with a thin brush. Make sure the black paint is off first!

 

Here’s an idea - if you happen to have sparkly white or silver for this to shine - go for it! I don’t have it. But silver maybe! 

 

[id: KIm continues to paint the ILY with the thin white brush] 

 

Paint it so it’s fully covered 

 

I’ll get more. 

 

Make sure you show the whole shape - like this part/ 

 

[id: Kim pints to her knuckles on her own hand in the ILY shape]

 

Remember to brush the chalk off when the paint dries. After the paint is totally dry, brush off any residual chalk 

 

[id: Kim continues to paint the ILY shape with white - showing the outline of the fingers and knuckles] 

 

This may need a second coating 

 

Ok - to make it look 3D - to show how the hoof stepped down, and is now up and “pointing” to us, we’ll draw an outline. 

 

[id: Kim paints an outline around the base of the hoof]

 

Does that make sense? Around the base?

 

[id: kim continues to paint an outline, and includes a line just around the ILY shape]

 

See? That shows that it stamped down, and now is “pointing” the stamp towards us?
