We explored new tools and painting techniques in THIS WEEK’S #ARTADVENTURES .
Our 2- 8 year old adventurers mixed sand with paint and used palette knives to make an
Impasto Painting
A technique used in painting, where paint is laid on an area of the surface in very thick layers.
-
- Pouring our mixed sand and paint onto our canvas
-
- Using different tools to apply and spread our paint

- Age 2

- Age 3

Palette knives help to achieve this goal, allowing strokes to be visible. We also used scrapers and forks to create different curvy, straight and angle lines from our line & shape families.
