Hi friends,
Today we have an easy, spring landscape painting. So pull out your craft paints, a fork, and a narrow brush, for a fun dandelion and lavender painting. Check out our fork paintings below.

What You'll Need
White Construction Paper
Fork
Paint Brush
Grey(or mix your own), Green, Brown, & Purple Craft Paints
Paint Tray
Table Cover/Newspaper
The Steps
If you don’t have grey, mix your own with white paint and a tiny bit of black.
Use a brush to dab brown paint about the size of a pea, repeat for all the dandelions.
2. Dip your fork into the grey paint and press down/slide over the brown area multiple times until you get the round puffball. Repeat for each dandelion.
For wind-blown seeds, use only 1 tine with grey paint and 1 dot of brown.
3. With a narrow brush make green stems for the flowers and add grass to the bottom.
We used multiple greens.
4. Dab a clean fork into the purple paint/s.
5. Create the lavender stalks by pressing the tips of the fork multiple times over a blade of grass. Repeat as many times as you’d like.
That’s it!
These came out so well : )
I asked Naomi to go find me a dandelion puffball or two. She only found one, but to my surprise, that dandelion she brought had a little spotted guy in tow!
Happy crafting!
Amanda and Naomi
