Rox has had a passion for painting since he was a wee baby. As a toddler it was his favorite pass time before he discovered dinosaur figurines and YouTube. But even now it's the only time where he can stay seated in complete concentration.
We've gone through so much construction paper and kids finger paints, that I decided it was time for him to graduate to the real thing.
Acrylic and Canvas! Having gone to an art school I have tons of acrylic to put to good use, and a pair of canvases were only 5 bucks!
We learned about mixing different colors and how to create pastels and shades of colors to make completely new colors. Which he really couldnt do before with the kids paint.
It totally blew his mind in excitement, as I was able to watch his masterpiece unfold.
And wa-la. I now have 2 one of a kind paintings to use as home decor!
I've realized how important it is to nurture our children's natural born talents. 'Cause you know what they say about practice!
