Shiny Painting


The Squirrel and I tried a quick & easy technique. You paint on foil and while it is still wet you draw on it with something dull, creating instant shimmering good looks. Here are the directions from the book I saw it in, which gears this technique toward homemade notecards:


Cut a rectangle of gold paper (we used silver aluminum foil).


Apply a coat of paint and while it is still wet draw a simple design in the paint, then allow to dry.


You can cut around the scratched images leaving a small border (neater than what we did). Stick each one to a rectangle of colored paper.

And here is mine.

Here's how it works!
Grab a child in your life and let them dictate what you all will do. Work how you work so they can see what you do and how you do it. If it's on the computer, give them the mouse to color something in or if your medium of choice is paint, have them paint. Just be creative!! You can see what I do with one of my styles here. Enjoy your time and just have fun! Participation is open to all.
