Supplies

  • White cardstock or Canvas sheet
  • Acrylic paint
  • Q-tips
  • Paintbrushes
  • Paint palettes and water dish – we used recycled containers and plastic lids for this

Instructions for your tulip painting

1. Get out your supplies and your paint colors for the grass and sky. You will need green, light blue, and white. We used a canvas pad for this painting and I cut the paper in half but you can use any type of canvas that you like.

When using a q-tip painting technique I find it easier for kids to work on a smaller scale. So so you want your canvas to be on the small side.

2. Draw with a pencil a line across the paper to divide the sky and grass. Using a paintbrush, kids can paint the grass and sky. While the sky is still wet, have kids take some white paint and swirl in some clouds. This is easier to do when the paint is still wet and helps to mix the sky and clouds together a bit, giving the sky a more natural look.

Let the grass and sky dry completely before moving on. My daughter was eager to start painting her tulips so I used a hairdryer to speed up the drying process.

3. Get out your tulip colors and use one q-tip per color. Have kids paint their field of tulips using q-tips. Using one color at a time, create rows of dots per color.

Some kids might find it easier for each color to dry before moving on to the next color to avoid smudging. This is where using a hairdryer would come in handy.  Continue creating rows of tulips until the grass is all filled. Make sure everything is dry before moving to the next step.

4. Using a pencil, draw in the mountains. Depending on the age of the kids, they might want some help with this part. Get a dark blue ready for the mountains and a small brush. Have kids paint in the mountains.
