Fork Painting with Star Tempera
Here is a bright idea. Paint vibrant flowers using an unexpected tool – a fork. This is perfect for school art teachers and parents at home, designed to spark fun and imagination in children.
Materials Needed:
Paper
Paintbrush
Forks
Water
Paint palette
Let's get started:
Step 1:
Squeeze out a small amount of your chosen Star Tempera Poster Paint onto your palette. Remember, this is where the magic begins. Choose your favourite colours – it could be red, blue, yellow, or a mix of them all.
Step 2:
Use green Star Tempera to paint and create some greenery. Take a paintbrush and dip it into green paint. Paint delicate stems and leaves. This is where you can make your art uniquely yours. You can also paint some grass. The more bold and straightforward, the better.
Step 3:
Dip the top part of the fork into the paint, ensuring the tines are coated. Now, with your tempera paint-loaded fork in hand, it's time to create those stunning flowers.
Step 4:
Gently press the painted fork onto your sheet of paper. The tines of the fork will leave behind an intricate petal pattern. Experiment with different colours to create a bouquet of blossoms. Don't be afraid to let your creativity run wild! Try this on some scrap paper first.
Step 5:
Allow to dry after you've put the final touches on your flowery masterpiece. Your beautiful, fork-painted garden is now ready to be showcased!
Share and Enjoy,
