Painted Paper Art Painting Method

November 25, 2023 Comments : 2

When painting with tempera paint, I have found over the years that using water dilutes your paints and makes your paint colors not vivid and become muddy.

Here are some helpful tips for painting with children 6-12.

Have fun creating and remember, use a placemat instead of water to keep your paints bright !!!!

About Me

Hello

Hello! Do you love to paint? I sure do! Tempera Paint, Watercolor Paint, Paint sticks! I love helping kids create art, seeing them start with a blank paper, exploring with art materials, creating beautiful mini masterpieces. I encourage my students to become fine art explorers, learning about various artists and cultures. In my spare time I love creating fun, bright art inspired by nature. I also enjoy gardening and collecting vintage fisher-price toys. Thanks for visiting!
