What Do You Want to Make Today?
Yesterday we started a week-long slow art project by painting a canvas. I like that as a first step even if it eventually gets mostly covered up because it takes away the fear of a blank canvas. The next step I did was to add some texture by Mod Podgeing some paper to the canvas. […]
