Resene kids art with Mark Rayner - Project 47

Difficulty level: Moderate

You will need: Artists’ canvas board, Coloured feathers, Paintbrushes (including artists’ brushes), PVA glue, Resene Testpots in the following colours: Resene Galliano, Resene Nero, Resene Resolution Blue and Resene Wham

Top tip: Coloured feathers like these can be bought at most craft shops.

Here's another idea: How about a furry cat face? Here the board was painted with Resene Havoc and the eyes and mouth with Resene Soft Apple. Once the feathers were stuck on, the cat’s eyes were finished off with two pieces of paua shell.
