I had so much fun painting with these 3 little artists! The oldest of this crew is almost 7 so mom knew to choose out simple images for their abilities. We worked with two canvases and created 2 "small child" creations with these three sweeties. Mom is an amazing cook and baker so I love that she chose to have them paint something for her kitchen!
For step one, little "N" and "L" came over to paint the canvas background. We started with two paint colors and worked on going up and down with our brushes to cover the whole piece with paint and mix as we go. Mom stayed to help with "N", who, by the way, may rule the world one day. Don't get me wrong though, we would all want her to! She is adorable!
I love these two pics, mom helping "N" with the brush strokes while "N" talks to the camera, and then "N" checkin' out because those sides...just tiring! Thanks mom! ha! "L" was still going strong though!
After a little break to let the paint dry, "L" came back to create a distressed look on both canvases with a kitchen scrub and light paint. He pulled the scrub down and filled the canvas with this lighter shade. He did great! Especially given the fact he does not like to get dirty and this technique is totally grimy! I think the first photo here captures his true emotions regarding the experience! Truly though, he was such a great sport and so happy and sweet!

The "yucky hands" pictures! Awesome!
After spending the morning with these 2, I must say that this momma must love her life! They are the sweetest! Their personalities are adorable and so are they! Great job "N" and "L"!
Session 2! Big bro "J" came over after school to work on the details of the painting. First up was the tree trunk. He worked so carefully to stay in the lines and listened well on to how to use the brush. Very good! You can see his concentration in these snap shots!
And then final fill ins! You can also see my first layer of lettering for the prayer we chose out here too.
Now "J" moved onto the leaves, first with a dark shade and then veins in a lighter shade. We talked about the shape of the veins and then he created them on his own!
Also a little bird in the tree and red berries put in with a q-tip!
"L" and "N" came with mom for pick up and signed the painting, and hand printed as well!
Then we took a photo op with the NEAR completed project! Their parts were finished, now I needed to complete their lettering. GREAT work little artists! What a special painting for the family to see whenever you are gathered in the kitchen!
Nice and silly!
And here is the final project with the lettering painted in! Lovely!
