Ever Paint with a Q-tip?

What Tools Do You Paint With?

Today in the Blue Iris Studio
my little 4-year old student
painted with several tools besides brushes.

She did paint with brushes,

But I totally screwed up that video.

 
And after she got the background on,
then she painted some stems for her flowers.
 
But she also painted with 
Q-tips


Blaire used a bottle cap from her water bottle
to make circles on her painting. 

Then she used her q-tips  to add centers to the circles.
  
 


She also painted with a fork.

 After we got lots of flowers on,
she added some fluffy stuff on her stems
with a fork.

This is Blaire and her finished painting.

 We got lots of paint on our hands.
I had already washed Blaire's hands once
but you know how it is,
we get a lot of paint on our hands in a short amount of time.

If you would like to take art classes with me,
whether individually or as a group,
you should know I take new students of all ages
and abilities who want to learn using acrylic paint.
You can email me at slgraves6@gmail.com 
and put "Art student questions" in the subject line.

There's lots of my original paintings there,
and there are vintage linens,
and some pretty interesting glassware.
Sometimes I have some interesting jewelry making supplies.

Thanks for stopping by today.
How about leaving a comment
 so Blaire and her mom can see.

  1. Tell Blair I am very impressed. I have used the Q-tip myself and didn't do as well as she did. I have never tried a fork and it looked fun. Well, I mean Blair made it look fun!

  2. Thanks Julie. I'll let her know. She is a great little girl and artist. The fork was pretty interesting.
