Today’s art work was inspired by the movie, UP. And we are not using any drawing papers tonight but a piece of canvas.

Materials:

• canvas
• acrylic paint, any colors of your choice (I used red, orange, yellow, green, light blue, blue, purple and white)
• cork
• roller brush
• paint brushes (optional)
• photo of any family members
• scissors
• glue

How to make one:
1. Using a roller brush, roll over the blue paint and roll it onto your white canvas. The purposes of using a roller brush to give you a white and blue effect of a sky in a natural way. It is not meant to paint the entire canvas in blue.
2. Using a cork, dip into any color paint of your choice and start stamping on your canvas. What you are stamping is to create tons of balloons effect like the UP movie poster. Clean the cork and work on other colors.

3. Cut the people out from your photo, spread the glue and stick it on the canvas. You can position it wherever you like.
4. Using a thin paint brush, dip into white paint and draw strands of strings (optional).

And you are done 🙂

How fun it is to make your own Christmas cards and explore it with your fingers? We have some fun graphics to share here which you can paint with your kids. So let your fingers do the magic and let your imagination runs wild!!

Please note that we are showing one illustration here

Materials:
• colored construction papers (any colors of your choice)
• some toothpicks
• some cotton sticks
• brown, red and black paint or acrylic paint.

How to make one:
1. Cut the paper to the sizes which you want. Here, we have an A5 size paper and folded into half.
2. Dip your index finger into brown paint and stamp them on one side of your paper. This will be your cover and you have a face.

3. Using the same index finger draw one stroke at each side of your finger prints. You have the horns now.
4. Using a toothpick, dip into black paint and dot onto the finger prints to have a pair of eyes.

5. Using a cotton stick, dip it into your red paint and dot onto your finger prints again. This time, dot it in the middle, at the edge. You have a big red nose now.
