Create a drawing with glue - and use powdered tempera to make your own painting!
Steps
- Step 1Use white glue to draw a design on a sheet of Grafix Chipboard.
- Step 2Sprinkle black powder paint on top of the glue drawing.
- Step 3Tap chipboard to remove extra powder paint so that the design can be seen clearly (background may have smudges and be gray in color; this will add visual interest).
- Step 4When glue is dry, mix individual colors of powder paint in separate bowls or cups. Add a small amount of water to each bowl to create an impasto paste. Use a palette knife to add the colors to your painting.
