Thumb Print Tree
By Nclark
Next weekend I am leading my first ever Mommy & Me art class! I decided we would create some thumb print paintings. I had so much fun making my example painting today!! I love creating whimsical works of art and using color unexpectedly. My goal is to do one of these paintings with each of my girls and paint their names on them. :)
I painted my background a variation of yellows and greens. I usually don't draw out my plans on canvas - however I had a very specific idea of how I wanted the tree to look.
Once the tree was finished - the fun began!!
Using a bright blue, I started on the thumb print leaves. I blended a few different shades of blue so there was so variation in the leaves.
I added the word "Family" and am very pleased with how it turned out! I plan on doing another example painting before next weekend, hopefully of a bird or peacock. I cannot wait to see the masterpieces everyone comes up with next weekend!
Happy Crafting!
