While watching The Lion King for the millionth time tonight, I decided to do a little something new. I've painted on canvas several times, but this was the first time I've ever painted on wood...and I didn't know what I was doing! I bought a 6X6 (I think) square from Hobby Lobby last week and picked up a packet of wooden appliqué fleur-de-lis.
I used acrylic paint (this was where I was unsure. I didn't know what kind of paint to use on wood. In the end, I just went with it. I was out $5). On the face, I mixed green/white. Then after it dried, I went over it with a blue/white mixture. Around the edges and on the fleur-de-lis, I went with a mixture of brown/light brown. As a highlight at the end, I took the rest of my brown mixture and threw in some white to lighten it. When everything was dry, I just hot glued the appliqué to the square. It's at simple as that! :)
By the way...The Lion King was just as good this time as it was in 94!
