EASY PEASY VEGGIE ART

LETS GET MESSY!!!!!!!!!!

1

Set out your card or paper, or any other paper you want to paint on.

2

Prepare your paints (watercolours are not advised). Assemble a colour palette. Make a special palette for the paint rather than dipping it directly into your usual paints; otherwise you may get pieces of vegetable or fruit stuck in there and they'll rot eventually!

3

Keep the consistency of the paint thin and fluid without being watery. Don't make it too thick.

4

Create your first fruit and vegetable painting - a flower.

5

Paint the "flower" section first:

• Chop off a Ladyfinger's top portion, along the width. Discard the small cut-off end.
• Dip the end of the long piece left into your colour palette, choosing the colour that you like most. You are trying to create a flower, so think of colours for flowers.Use different colours.
• Stamp your lady's finger like a rubber stamp on the desired area of your paper. Be sure not to stamp too hard or the design might smudge or even disintegrate

• 6-Cut a pod of French beans along the width, in a slightly slanted direction. With these, you can make some leaves for the flower.
• Dip them into green paint and stamp them below your lady's finger flowers.
• You can also make French bean petals and make the centre using the rear end of a pencil

7 Try other sorts of vegetables and fruits. Potatoes are popular with young children  and you can carve them to create interesting raised shapes, such as stars, half-moons, or circles. Look for fruit and vegetables that have interesting seeds that will make unusual patterns on your paper when you press them

YOU WILL GET A BIT MESSY WHILE DOING THIS.
