Painting a girl with umbrella/balloons

In this activity I will show you step by step on how to make a girl holding an umbrella or some balloons, with some acrylic paint and sponge brushes and some cotton swabs. It is pretty quick and makes a great painting for a kids room or it looks great on greeting card!!

Things we need:

8×10 canvas or a cardstock paper folded into half
Couple of sponge brushes
Cotton swabs or you could use a normal painting brush
Acrylic paint

Lets get painting!

First step, use the round edged sponge dip it in your desired hair color and press it on the center of your paper.
Use the cotton swab, get a little color for painting the neck and just swab it as shown in the pictures below.
Next step, we use the flat edged sponge brush to make the top of her dress as shown in the picture below.
Next we are going to make her rainbow skirt. Get your rainbow colors and squeeze out some paint on your canvas/paper. Then drag it down in the shape of a skirt as shown in the picture below.
Next we will use the cotton swab to add her arms and to add a handle of the umbrella on her right hand. Check out the picture below.
Next use your flat brush, get some paint and drag it down in the shape of an umbrella as shown below.
Next use the cotton swab or regular paint brush to add in some details on the umbrella as shown below.
Next use the cotton swab to add in some braids to her hair.
And looks like we are done!!
