A friend posted a painting done by her son the other day and told me where to find the tutorial for it, so I looked it up today and set the children to work. First they watched the tutorial, and then they did their own renditions.
I let them choose their own colors from my acrylic paints box - Xavier chose to stick close to the tutorial's guide (as close as possible with what we had), while Natalee did her own thing. Ameliya had a great time mixing the paint and stirring it around and trying to paint her whole paper!
I didn't get any more pictures of the process as I stayed busy the entire time working on supper and trotting back and forth among my little artists. We added owls, per the tutorial, to the finished products. Overall, I think they are darling little fall looking paintings!
Xavier, age 6
Natalee, age 7
Ameliya, age 2. She wanted a white tree. The background is all her own; she placed her hand over mine and we did the tree and owl together.
