Primary TechniquePainting
Materials:
- 16x20 canvas
- 3 wooden utensils
- Sandpaper
- Acrylic craft paint: white, black and burgundy
- Black transfer paper
- White craft glue
- Acrylic sealer spray in matte finish
Instructions:
- Paint the entire surface of the canvas white. This will help seal the canvas and keep dirt and smudges from collecting.
- Sand the wooden utensil to remove the shiny surface.
- Paint the wooden utensils burgundy. You may need 3-4 coats to get good coverage.
- Open a Word document and type the word "eat". Choose a font that suits you and enlarge the font size to fit across the top of the canvas. Print out the word.
- Position it onto your canvas and tape it in place with masking tape. Be sure to make sure everything fits by placing the spoons on the canvas as well. Once you are sure, set the spoons aside and place a piece of transfer paper under the "eat" print out.
- Use a ball point pen to trace the outline of letters of the word "eat".
- Lift the paper and you will see that the transfer paper has transferred the word to the canvas.
- Use a fine liner brush and black paint to paint the letters.
- Use white craft glue to glue the wooden spoons in place.
- Apply 1-2 coats of acrylic sealer spray.
