Painting with Tita Mikko

When this little one asked if she could come over to my condo, I couldn’t say no. She’s quite the crafty one, so I knew we were in for an afternoon of activities. So after an hour of Dance Central, I thought it would be best to attack some paint.

I wanted to teach her something new, so I was hoping to try out some blow painting. Instead of bringing out just the brushes, I took out some paper straws, too.

I started dipping the straws in various colors.

Then blew some streaks in whichever direction.

I made a few sheets using different methods I had accidentally discovered: dripping, bubble bursting, splattering and streaking.

So quick. So fun. So easy!

Realizing that maybe abstract art wasn’t her thing, this is what she ended up making!
