Glass color painting on an OHP Sheet-DIY- Cute Rabbit

"The world is like a looking glass.. It gives back to every man a true reflection of his own thoughts.."-Thackery

 Hello everyone..

After a wonderful week full of work and wonders of celebrating Janmashtami.. Here comes a painting for kids..Its a colorful painting of a cute rabbit done on a OHP sheet using glass colors..

It is very simple and colorful and so it will be a wonderful artwork to do along with your kids.. You can do the outlining and your kids can pour the colors..

NOTE:

The most important thing to note here is Time.. Time is an essential concern while using glass colors because each step in this painting needs time .....

The outliner needs atleast 3 hours to dry.. For filling colors,  it is advisable to wait for each color to dry for atleast 25 mins before we pour the next color. In case of blending two or more colors, the amount of the color needed to create the effect has to be carefully decided before pouring the glass color on to the surface... Mixing of unwanted colors is a waste of time and energy as we have to repeat it after carefully cleaning them..

Things needed:

1. OHP Sheet



2. Glass colors



3. A safety pin(To burst air bubbles)
4. An old cloth(To wipe the nozzles of the glass colors)

Pattern:

The pattern of this rabbit was traced from a 20 year old greeting card.. Often, our itsy bitsy treasure trove will provide us wonderful surprises..

An OHP sheet is placed on the pattern and the outline is done with glass outliner black color..

The golden yellow and cherry red colors are blended for the rabbit's body and pink and golden yellow colors are blended for the flowers.... All other colors for leaves (Green) and the center fur(Brown)and black color for eyes and nose are filled..

The finished painting looks like this....

"The soul is healed by being with children.” ― Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Hello every one..
Yesterday I thought of reusing my kids old uniform and so I have drawn some mickey cartoons on my kid's dark grey colored plain uniform..The painting is done by color filling and outlining technique.. I have used pearl color acrylic paints for filling.. as it looks good on dark colored fabrics and black for outlining..

These paintings are done by transferring  traced patterns.. For illustrations of transferring a pattern, Please refer to my Fabric painting-Red Rose post

Things needed:

Paints:
Many different colors of fabric/Acrylic paints.



Painting Brushes:

1. A Flat Brush No:2 or 3(For color filling)
2. A lettering Brush No:000 or 00(For outlining)

Short and Stiff bristles are preferable..

Painting Frame:A painting frame helps to tighten the fabric and holds it in the stretched form.

     

Other Essentials:

1. An old cloth for cleaning brushes in between changing colors
2. An old piece of card or paper to place under the fabric
3. Clean water
4. A mixing tray(Optional in case we want to mix certain colours)

Hello everyone..


The best compliment to a parent is the one received from their kids.. So today I have posted three paintings done by Color Filling and outlining technique, for kids... It is simple,bright,colorful and will look good on any kids fabric..

These patterns were found in my kids coloring book.. Believe it or not..the drawings available in kids coloring books work wonders if they are taken up as an artwork base..


Things needed:

A clean and ironed Poplin Fabric:
Poplin is a fabric woven with criss cross ribs of any fiber such as cotton,wool,silk,etc., which gives it a strong texture and it prevents any paint from oozing down through it. White poplin works well with most acrylic or fabric colors but any color fabric is fine. Buy Poplin cloth here
