Tips and Tricks!<\/strong>
-blending is easier when the paint is wet
-use tip of round brush to make thin lines for branches
-use the end of the brush like a stamp dipped into paint to make tiny dots for stars
-you can easily paint over mistakes! Just make sure the paint is dry first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Trace a circular object for the moon. Using a flat brush, mix a small amount of black with blue to make dark blue for the sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Fill in the moon with yellow. Mix yellow with a small amount of red to make an orange for shading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Make small circles for craters. Mix in more red to deepen the orange colour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Paint one thick line across the painting for a tree branch. Paint thinner lines coming out of it for branches. The less pressure you apply to the tip of the brush, the thinner the lines will be!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Paint a round rectangle shape on the branch. Add a half circle for the head. A triangle shape for the beak. Fill in with black. Add thin lines for the tail feathers and leg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Make tiny yellow dots for stars. You can use the back of your paint brush like a stamp to make dots. And you’re done!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
