A cup of fantasy!


Funny cups painted with tempera!  This is a good exercise to learn how many textures you can paint with tempera colours, and how many ways there are to use use a paintbrush. Enjoy!




paint the background with plain colours
when the surface is dry, add the texture

create your own texture!
use at least two colors for every pattern
draw the outline with a permanent marker
