It makes a fun and easy spring time craft project for kids too!
To start things off, paint a vase with a few stems and leaves on your canvas.
Consider using forks of different shapes and sizes to add some texture and depth to your tulips.
The first step to painting flowers with your fingers is to familiarize yourself with the shape of your subject.
It will allow you to create a rough sketch of the flowers before getting your hands dirty literally!
Next, dip your fingers in your favorite acrylic color and start dabbing on the canvas.
These fabulous patterned vegetables make easy and nifty roses in a jiffy.
It also makes a great craft for kids for valentines day and mothers day.
To make these bok choy roses, simply cut off the ends (2-3 from the bottom).
This will confirm the paint goes on evenly on your canvas.
Another tip is it see to it your acrylic paint is a nice thin consistency.
Watercolor paints would also work nicely here.
check that to clean the plastic with a cloth before covering the bottom of the bottle with paint.
You will probably have to dip the vegetable into the paint multiple times to create a complete flower.
Now that you have your flowers, its time to paint the stems and leaves using green beans.
All you better do is dip the bean into green paint and stamp it sideways onto the canvas.
you might also dab it a few more times to create an impression of grass.
Like the Okra/green beans and bok choy above, there are many vegetables to choose from.
Another one of my favorite techniques is using a celery stalk to paint chrysanthemum flowers.
Stamp down on your canvas or paper to create a rose petal.
repeat this stamping technique in a circular pattern to paint the whole chrysanthemum flower.
Extra tip:Use darker colored paint for first layer of the flower.
