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.
