Outdoor Painting

These monogram signs are the perfect outdoor painting project for little and big artists. Take a walk outside before painting to collect flowers, pinecones, sticks and rocks that would make interresting stamps for your artwork.

Material:

Canvas, wood canvas or wood sign

(I used a wood canvas and a wood sign I found at the Dollar Store)

Acrylic paint 

Sponge brushes (or sponges)

Masking tape

Pine cones, flowers, sticks, grass etc.

Marker (I used a silver sharpee)

Step 1:

Paint the canvas with a neutral back color and let dry

Write a letter in masking tape (the first letter of your family name or your children's name)

tape a border around the canvas.

Step 2:

Using sponge brushes or sponges paint the canvas. Sponge paint around the masking tape letter.

Step 3:

Using the pine cone, flower, stick and other nature made paintbrushes to stamp and make patterns on the canvas.

Step 4:

Let the canvases dry in the sun.

Step 5:

When the paint is completely dry remove the masking tape. Trace the letter and border with the marker to make nice clean borders.
