Over the weekend we had a painting day at our house. We recreated the couple in the rain from the video below.
We printed different images we each liked, and traced the general torsos and added details like face features, hair, and shoes with our paint brushes after they were filled in.
Our only issue was that niether of us could get our rain to look right, we determined this was because our canvases were much smaller so the dropper method created drops that were too big.
Mine is the purple umbrella, my husbands is the green umbrella, my aunt did the upper right red umbrella, her husband the blue umbrella with green boots, and my cousin the the left red umbrella.
We had a great time, and even painted a second set of pictures your will see in my next post.
Colors: gray, blue, white, black, green, red, mix colors with white or black for darker or lighter shades. Brushes, one inch for entire background. Small round brush for couple and umbrella..eye dropper or nose sucker for water drops. We were working on an 11x14 canvas and found splats were better then drops. We held the sucker 6 to 8 inches away from the front of the canvase pointed at the canvas and squeezed to make it spray small dots.
