We had SO MUCH FUN doing this project in the kids classes, that I decided I just had to do with my adult class too, and boy, did they love it! Our inspiration: this wonky, friendly textured cow by the French 'Outsider', 'Brut' artist Jean Dubuffet (1902-1985). |
| Jean Dubuffet Cow We used sand mixed with modeling paste and acrylic paint and applied this mixture with a palette knife to our cow drawings on canvas. We then added some subtle dabs of paint to our cows for interest and emphasis. Backgrounds were done with a bit of modeling paste as well, and were then scratched into with a toothpick for texture. We had a blast with this! |
