Hi friends!

TODAY is the first day of fall, so we’re showing you our Fall Inspired Paintings! The inspiration photo for today’s craft is full of oranges, yellows, reds, & greens and it drew me INSTANTLY. We each took our own approach on the paintings and gave it extra time to complete. Naomi even said, “Mom, this is my favorite craft so far!” Though she’s said that before, I can’t hold it against her; just look at that photo! Check it out below.

PREP

Unroll the amount of paper you’d like to use and trim down to size if necessary. We each used a large piece about 24 in x 30 in.
Roll it in the opposite/reverse direction to help flatten it out.
*Our inspiration placed where we could see it.

DRAW

Start to sketch out your drawing.
We drew very simplified sketches, major landscapes, a few trees and skyline. I did more sketching than Naomi and reversed the landscape so we could somewhat mirror them.

PAINT

Then begin to paint your landscape, add different colors to give depth and use different brushes to add the appearance of texture.

Naomi started with the trees first and then the background which is much harder. Do what you prefer.

2. Once you’re done painting, let the picture dry for about 15 -20 minutes.

I chose to do some of the landscape first, but I should have just continued with the landscape as that is the foundation for the rest of the painting.
