Mid-morning in Paris

 
I am most definitely not in Paris, but this scene this morning sort of made me feel like I was. In keeping with my at least one post a week I decided to do a paint project today. They are quick, easy, fun, and bring lots of color to any room.

What you need:
Acrylic paint
Paint brush
Cup of water
Paper towel
Canvas or paint paper
Tape (for technique 1)

Technique 1:
Put tape down on the canvas or paint paper in a pattern.
Paint each section a different color cleaning the brush between each color (dry your brush as well).
Let dry (it dries quickly if you use acrylic paint).
Paint second layer.
Let dry.
Remove tape.

Technique 2:
Put paint dots all over the canvas/paint paper.
Using the paint brush, blend the dots together making sure not to mix too much to ensure that the colors don’t combine and come out entirely brown.
Let dry.
