Mom's Night Out Art and Appetizers Friday: Madonna & Child Gold Ink on Black canvas

Madonna & Child artworks.

Laurie Marr





Working with a picture we each cut out, we placed them on Black painted canvas 
and decorated with Gold Oil Sharpie pens.

Supplies:
Canvas
Black acrylic paint
Water
Picture of Mary & Jesus
Mod podge
Gold ink Sharpie pens, oil based

1.     Cover canvas with a thin layer of water.
2.     Squeeze some black acrylic paint on the water covered canvas and distribute evenly to cover the entire canvas.  You could also do very dark blue or purple.
3.    Cut out the picture of Mary & Jesus leaving mainly their faces.
4.    When the canvas is dry, glue the picture where desired.  When dry, do a coat of glue on top of the picture to seal it down to the canvas.
5.    Let dry.
6.    Start filling in Mary & Jesus’ clothes and background with Gold ink pens.

Here is where the idea came from and are many sample pictures of the decorative inking for the clothes & background can be found.

Turkey Time!! Art class today we were Painting Turkeys.

Today was our first class.  We painted Turkeys!!  It was fun!

I began the class teaching about Shades & Tints.  At the end of class I reviewed what we learned.  We also talked about Primary & Secondary colors.  I asked the youngest child if he remembered how we would make pink.  He said, "I don't know, you taught us that over 2 hours ago!"
It was so cute & hilarious!!

For my Class Calendar check below ---->>>>  We have snowmen & cute penguins!

I'm Hosting a MOM"S NIGHT OUT:  Art & Appetizers. It's on Dec. 4th at 7:00 pm.
