Mom & Dad: my Angels!

My son Tomas (7 yrs old), created this sweet Angels with his own hands.
I have been teaching my son about colors, how to use brushes, different kind of materials such as paper, play dough, foam, cleaning pipes, buttons... He loves exploring not only with crafts but with other stuff such as wood, nails, ropes and so on.
I told him I was entering in some Craft Challenges and that some of them allow kids to participate and he exploded! He said he also wanted to enter so here we are with his own project.


Of course, as his mom, I am very proud of his own creation and even more when he told me he wanted to have an ARTISTIC SIGNATURE and so he did! 
MATERIALS:
Colored crafting papers (as desired).
3/4" brush or any other according to your taste.
Liner brush.
Acrylic paint in the following colors: white, lipstick red, Metallic Blue and summer peach.



INSTRUCTIONS:
Select the colored craft paper according to your wish to have it as a background.
Paint your hand with blue acrylic paint (in this case Tomas painted his own hand, I helped him a little bit) and press the hand in the middle of the paper to "stamp" the Angel's body. 
Repeat process to "stamp" the Angel's wings.
Then with your finger try to make a circle for the Angel face, in this case we used summer peach acrylic paint.
Using one of your fingers too, make the Angel's hair.
Tomas used the back part of a brush to paint the eyes, nose and mouth.
Then with a liner brush made the Angel's ring. 
Finally with the liner brush he signed up his little piece of art.
Hope y'all like it and try it with your own kids, grandkids, school children or whoever you consider properly to.

I am entering this project on the following challenges:

  3. I absolutely LOVE this project! What a blessing to see how your son used exactly what God gave him (his own hands....literally) to create art. I feel so blessed to have you and your son share this beautiful piece of art with us and I hope that you will continue to share with us. May God bless you both this week, and I thank you both SO MUCH for sharing!
