I promised my friends an art party. Just a small group of good conversation, art and of course, snacks! I wanted a project that everyone could do and be proud of the results. At the same time I didn't want it to be SO cookie cutter that they couldn't stretch their own creative wings. This is done with acrylic paint and a little colored pencil in the outlines. You can follow the photos below to see how you too can create this painting.
First cover your panel with yellow paint. Easy brush strokes leaving a little of the white showing thru. While that dries use a heavy stock paper and tear out shapes for your sun, trees, flowers and hills.
Add blue to your sky. Taking your torn paper template, paint a brown outline for the sun, hill and trees.
Now start coloring it all in. When your hill is dry, use the flower template to place a brown background where your flowers will go. Add in the flower petals. When all is dry, take your colored pencil and make the tree base, also add little marks to bring it all together. Happy creating!
