Supplies
Canvas, Board, or thick paper of your size choice (I used 4x4" mini canvases from Michael's) https://www.michaels.com/product/2-pack-4-x-4-mini-canvas-by-artists-loft-necessities-10219225?michaelsStore=9976&inv=3
Acrylic Paint (I used Lamp Black, Magenta, Pthalocyanine Green, Titanium White, Metallic Gold, Metallic Silver, Magenta, Violet, and Pthalocyanine Blue Artist’s Loft Paints) https://amzn.to/456XvAN
(Artist’s Loft, Master’s Touch, Dick Blick and Liquitex are all great cost-effective brands. Brands like Craft Smart and DecoArt can be too thin depending on the color)
If you want a non-permanent water soluble option for little kids, I highly recommend gouache or tempera paints. My kids love these gouache sets: https://amzn.to/43Q99Pq
Paint brushes (big, medium, and small brush) https://amzn.to/3qar7ys
Water
Paper Towels
Palette (or paper plates) https://amzn.to/3O6ozds
Apron or a Shirt that you wouldn’t mind getting messy

Optional: Hair Dryer

Once acrylic paint dries, it is permanent. If you get paint on your clothes, try to wash it out as soon as possible. I like to use Murphy’s Oil (Pine Sol, nail polish remover, or isopropyl alcohol work too) and the abrasive part of a sponge to scrub paint out of clothing. If it has dried, soak it in a little bit of one of the solutions listed above for at least 10 minutes before scrubbing off the hardened paint.

I recently got to go to Italy to explore some of the incredible art and ...architecture in Rome and Florence. My family, friends, and I put together a DIY Catholic art pilgrimage. It was a quick trip, lasting only a week, but it reignited the creative fire in my soul.

Here are some of the places that we went…

In Rome:
The Spanish Steps
The Trevi Fountain
The Pantheon
The Colosseum and Roman Forum
Santa Maria Maggiore
Santa Maria della Vittoria
Vatican City
St. Peter’s Basilica
The Vatican Museums

In Florence:
Santa Maria del Fiore
The Uffizi Galleries
Galleria dell'Accademia
Pitti Palace
Boboli Gardens
Ponte Vecchio
Santa Croce
Piazza della Repubblica
Piazza della Signoria

Places we ate:
Al Passetto di Borgo (i rigatoni alla norcina is said to have been a favorite of Pope Benedict’s)
My Sugar
Pino’s
Retrobottega
Gustapizza
Acquacotta

In Florence, we stayed at this sweet little convent that was within walking distance of all of the places we visited. We highly recommend it! https://www.oblate.it/en/
