Hi there!
Natalie May here sharing an 8×8 canvas that I’m teaching for an upcoming Kids Class here in Adelaide.
I regularly teach a Kids Mixed Media class, and it is one of the most popular classes we run during the holidays. I love that children are willing to have a go, and put aside perfection for having fun! Plus its a perfect opportunity for them to get a little bit messy!
This project will be for them to put up on their wall or on a shelf. It’s super cute and I cant wait to share it with them.
1. Apply some texture paste to the canvas using a mask, and dry with a heat gun.2. Glue a thick paint brush to the canvas, paint it with gesso, and dry. Once dry, add some texture paste in and around the edges of the brush, and then apply some clear micro beads and allow to dry.
3. Glue on some wood veneer letters.

4. Spray around the edges of the canvas with Cape Cod Coral



7. Next, I sprinkled on some Cosmic Pink Blue Embossing Powder, and heat set – this gave it a beautiful shimmer all over the paint brush


9. And lastly add some flicks of white paint from a Sharpie Marker just to give it a little dimension.

Here are some close ups of the finished canvas.

I cant wait to teach this, and see what amazing colour combinations the kids come up with!
