Angel Painting

Blog 48

This is my last holiday project for this year. Starting next week, I will post my yearly advent calendar that gives you a review of the artworks that I created during the last 12 months. I will post a new image every day starting on December 1 on my Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/KerstinPetersPaintings. In my blog, you will receive a weekly summary of the posts.

The last project is the angel painting that I also am offering as a painting party. It is the perfect project for all ages. Who can say no to such a cute angel?

Here is a list of the materials:

16” x 20” (or 8” x 10”) canvas

Acrylic or poster paint (I used white, yellow, red, and a little bit brown, but you could also get premixed skin colour.)

Brushes

Stickers (hearts, stars, etc.)

Glitter glue (optional)

Palette, white plate or cutting board

Water container

Paper towels

Pencil

Eraser

Here are the steps to create your Advent calendar:

1) Draw the angel onto the canvas

Start with simple shapes: a circle for the head, then attach a triangle without the top for the dress. The shoes and ears are half circles, the hands half ovals. The wings can be any shape you like. Mine look like parts of a star.

2) Paint your background.

3) Paint the dress, the wings and the face.

4) Add the details once the base colour is dry. You could also use googly eyes, or use a marker for the detail work.

5) Attach the embellishments.

I hope you enjoyed my holiday crafts and got inspired to create your own masterpieces. Handmade gifts are so special in this age of consumerism. Creating something also gives you a nice break from your daily responsibilities and too much time spend in front of your computer and TV. As it is often even more fun in a group, get your friends and family together and make it a craft event. If you need some help, please do not hesitate to contact me at kpeters@domingoinformatics.ca. Winter is a great time for painting parties and workshops to have fun together and create memories.
