You Will Need (4 things)

  • Acrylic Paints
  • 1 Canvas
  • 1 Lead Pencil
  • Paint Brushes

Steps (5 steps, 120 minutes)

  1. 1

    Firstly with a lead pencil I lightly mark out my idea on the canvas. I don't know if this is something ppl
    Normally do but I just like to plan ahead then just go for it.

  2. 2

    Then I start painting, mixing colours etc, you can always paint base colour first and build up the colour one colour at a time on the whole project but I like to work on small sections at a time .

  3. 3

    Build up colour as it needs it remembering shadows etc

  4. 4

    Athens I started Woking on other element in the picture before I put in the background

  5. 5

    Then work your way through background

    I had to keep this really kid friendly etc cause its fir my sons nursery but I really wanted to do a sea horse with a horses skull lol
