Archive, Friends, Kids

Join Miss Kathleen on our Facebook page or YouTube channel for an acrylic painting tutorial for kids, or watch the video below! Kathleen will show you how to create a beautiful moon scene.

Whether you were able to register for one of the acrylic painting kits for older kids or not, you can follow this instructional video using the following supplies.

Supply list:

  • Canvas (14 in. x 14 in.)
  • Black acrylic paint
  • White acrylic paint
  • Purple acrylic paint
  • Orange acrylic paint
  • Yellow acrylic paint
  • Wide brush (3/4 in.)
  • Round brush (size 2 is good)
  • Paper plate or something else that can be used as a paint palette
  • Cup for water (any cup will work, but you will be putting paint in it)
  • Paper towels or a rag to wipe paint on
  • Easel or something like newspaper to put down and protect surfaces if painting flat

Instructions targeted toward third-fifth graders.

*PLEASE NOTE: Acrylic paint does not wash out. You should wear old or protective clothing when doing this project. If you do not have your own easel and will be painting on a flat surface, we highly recommend laying the canvas on newspaper or magazine or something else to protect any surfaces from getting paint on them.
