Happy fish in an aquarium

 

 

 

1. A4 sheet folded in half or buy a white greeting card to paint upon.
2. Ultramarine Blue water color mixed to form a very watery mixture for the aquarium water
3. Red, Yellow, Green, brown acrylic colors for the fishes, plants & stones.
4. Black sketch pen for the outline.
5. White acrylic color for bubbles.

 

Step By step

 

 

Steps: [See L-R]

1. Fold the A4 sheet in half , take the biggest brush and let your child wash over the entire surface. Once the side is painted, take a cloth and wipe off any wet paint from L to right. Paint the child’s thumb in a color of your choice. I like to use acrylic colors for this instead of water color because it gives a shiny n thick layer. Hold hand and place strategically as seen in 1st pic. Use as many colors as you need.
2. Paint forefinger brown and make the stones at the lower part.
3. Now’s your turn to be creative.. turn the finger prints into happy fishes using black sketch pen.
4. Add some effects – some aquatic plants, bubbles and an outline and you have your colorful aquarium ready to be gifted .. [Click to enlarge]
