Today I decided to make this Hippo Masterpiece and will show youll how easy and beautiful it is.
Here is the completed background before putting the Hippotamus on it.
Supplies:
Tutorial:
1.
Paint the grass
For the ground I mixed green and yellow and brushed it on.
Then while it was still wet I used a fork to make the texture in it.
Add sequins & draw the fins
The fish are red sequins with orange markers used for the fin.
Make a hippotamus
Here is the completed Hippotamus.
I used a purple foam sheet to make the Hippo because it was the only dark purple I had.
If I had darker purple card stock paper, I would definitely use that instead.
I simple cut out all the Hippo pieces and glued them together.
I used a lighter purple for the mouth and eyes, as you might see.
Totally not necessary, but I was just trying to get close to the artwork.
I will probably have them add some birds in the background too since there is lots of empty space.
