Create an easy artwork for kids with this glue resist technique. We love this simple heart painting idea, but you could do any subject matter.
Print Tutorial
Equipment
- Watercolor Paint
- Optional: Pencil
Supplies
- Bottled Glue
- Heavy Paper Tagboard or Canvas Board
Instructions
- Come up with a design and sketch it out if necessary. Use a glue bottle to draw the image.
- Let the glue completely dry.
- Once the glue is dry, use watercolor paints to add to your painting. Colors next to each other on the color wheel will mix well.
- Let painting dry and enjoy.
Notes
-
- Beginners and children may have more luck lightly touching the paper with the glue bottle tip as they draw.
- Encourage children to draw pretty quickly to avoid getting a globby mess.
- Make sure that the glue bottle is not clogged and works well.
- Fuller glue bottles will help your artists get more of a continuous line.
- You could use an extra fine-tip black marker to add details and designs to the project.
