Since he left for undergrad, we've been used to going months without seeing our son each year and looked forward to his Summer visits. Needless to say with COVID, we weren't sure that was going to happen this year but he made a carefully planned drive from where he's studying in Chicago to come see us in the desert. We've been hanging out at home and it was the perfect opportunity to do a family craft project so I asked my "boys" if they'd want to try paint pouring and they did. The above is mine which I kind of mucked up because I messed up the white paint and it got lumpy but theirs turned out GREAT!
Meet Mr. Chocolate and Chocolate Chip (off the old block...get it?! I'm punny) and their paint pours!
Mr. Chocolate loves yellow, silver and black so those were his color choices:
During COVID, son started a plant collection so he chose colors to complement his plant area in his apartment, green, brown and gold.
I'm working on some Halloween decor and decided to use burgundy, black and white. I ended up doing two canvases to use up some of the leftover paint. The one above and this one. Stay tuned for upcoming projects that will use these as backgrounds.
All of the supplies came from Michaels: Artist Loft Acrylics and Pouring Medium
A good time was had by all and they're happy with their first foray into paint pouring!
