These adorable reindeer paintings were created by a full house of young artists in a winter break camp!<\/h4>\n

\"Winter<\/p>\n

The kids in this camp were mixed ages 5-12.\u00a0 We did a quick instructional drawing with the entire class, creating the reindeer out of simple shapes.\u00a0 \u00a0From there, kids could work at their appropriate age level to personalize their reindeer.<\/p>\n

\"Winter<\/p>\n

We used a layering painting technique, starting with base coats of wintery shades of tempera paint we mixed up special for this project.\u00a0 We love to take straight tempera paint and mix shades of gray into it to achieve these soothing colors!\u00a0 We also sometimes start with a base of gray tempera and add a few squirts of liquid watercolor to “tint” the paint.\u00a0 The paint dries very chalky on the heavy 200# watercolor paper and dries rather quickly.\u00a0 This allows us to come back to paint on top with lines & shapes for the reindeer nose, forehead, etc.\u00a0 We usually save the eyes for last and caution them against painting in the whites of their eyes as they are working.<\/p>\n

\"Winter<\/p>\n

For the background, we used a shimmery iridescent watercolor paint, and let the students choose if they wanted to apply snowflake designs using a thread spool and white tempera.\u00a0 Students were also given the choice of outlining their reindeer (or just the eyes) after the paint dried.<\/p>\n
