A gnome stands with a tall pointed hat pulled right down over his eyes, a round nose poking out above a long beard, holding a wrapped present in both hands. With no eyes to draw, the hat, the nose and the beard do all the talking, so give each one a clear colour of its own. This is the Scandinavian Christmas gnome, the tomte in Sweden and the nisse in Norway and Denmark, who watches over the farm and expects a bowl of rice porridge with butter on Christmas Eve. The baby polar bear is the other round, cosy character in this lot.

How to color Nordic gnome with a wrapped present

  1. Red for the hat, as tall and bright as you like.
  2. Peach for the nose, and white or pale grey for the beard.
  3. Dark green for the coat, and a different colour for the present and its bow.
