The other day, I went to a craft store and something happened to me there, like a lightning strike, and I decided to complete the project I wanted to do for a long time. I found this project on Make it and Love it website. I always thought it was cute and dreamed to make something like that when my baby comes along. At last, he is here (and was here for the last 6 months) and I remembered what I wanted to make. So, get ready, because I’ve never done anything like it. And I mean, NEVER!
I knew that the project will turn out either brilliant or a complete disaster…. So, I took a deep breath and grabbed a paint brush.
First I painted all of my three canvases the colors of my choice. I already had gray and brown I wanted to use, I needed just the third color to tie them together. I went with yellow and I hope it wasn’t a mistake:) Let me know! Even though it’s kind of late at this point, I’d like to know your opinion.
Then I went online! YAY for internet. And found free animal silhouettes that I could use for my project. The key word is “free.” I didn’t want steal anybody’s work, but since they were giving away those, I took them. Initially, I tried to pick animals that would be easier to paint (without small details). How did I end up with two skinny legs animals is still a question.
Next step is to trace your silhouette on canvas. Go easy on a pencil, especially on light colored ones. This was too much and I paid for it…:(
I didn’t take the picture of me painting within the lines, but I figured that it is probably not so necessary.
And here they are. My little animal farm or zoo!:) I think it turned out pretty good! I hope you like it! Happy Painting! It’s not that scary as it seemed to me in the beginning! I actually found it to be quite fun!
I linked this project to this party on Creation Corner!
