Welcome back to Tutorial Tuesday, where we embark on a creative journey each week. This time, we're diving into the fall spirit with a delightful Scarecrow painting tutorial. As we approach the Thanksgiving season, I often receive requests for paint parties, but with family commitments, I've found the perfect solution for you to enjoy the artistic process at home! This Scarecrow painting tutorial is a fantastic alternative. Gather your friends and family for a cozy DIY paint party at home. It's an excellent way to bond, express creativity, and create lasting memories.
What You'll Need, Per Person:
-
Canvas: Pick a canvas size that suits your preference. A smaller canvas is faster. A flat canvas can be framed when finished.
-
Paint Brushes: A variety of brushes will give you the flexibility to add intricate details or cover larger areas.
-
Palette: Use a palette to mix and blend your colors effortlessly. A paper plate works fine!
-
Paint: Prepare a rainbow assortment of colors, including white, black, and brown. These will be the foundation for your vibrant Scarecrow masterpiece.
-
Cup of Water: Keep a cup of water handy for rinsing your brushes between colors.
-
Makeup Sponge: This unconventional tool will be your secret weapon for creating textured clouds in the background.
- Paper Towels: For drying your brushes after cleaning.
Some extra things to think about: You may want to cover your tables and floors to protect them from paint. Aprons or smocks are also helpful to keep your clothes clean! You can paint your canvases flat on the table or purchase tabletop stands to prop them up.
