Ever notice that some books, especially older ones, are covered in canvas? They are! So we thought we’d try painting on a few book canvases. It was fun. And the books were free. We picked them up at the end of a library sale.
Materials:
Old Books
Acryllic Paint
Paint Brushes
Directions:
1. Use a pencil to draw a design on the cover of the book you are going to paint. (Pencil marks erased easily for us after painting was complete.)
2. Dip your paintbrush into paint and begin painting!
Mixing blue and white to make the color for the water was fun!
Try painting both covers for a longer picture, or a front side with a surprise back!
