Try the three greens side by side. Use the lightest on the tips and save the deepest green for the branches tucked behind the bear.

From the first layer to the finishing touches
Where the bear’s paw meets the branches
Save the tree’s highlights
Give the branches a light green base and keep the tips pale.
Follow the hug
Deepen the green directly under the paw and fade it out along the branch.
Choose the bear’s coat
Try a light ochre on one ear before using it across the body.
Four details to take your time with
Fur
Use short strokes on the cheek and longer ones on the tummy.
Star
Color one point yellow and leave a sliver of white along its edge.
Baubles
Repeat one color on two small ornaments so they stand out among the branches.
Ground
A little gray where the trunk meets the ground gives the tree some weight.
What if I want a polar bear?
Leave the coat white and add just a little blue-gray under the chin and around the paw.
