Supplies
Canvas, Board, or thick paper of your size choice (I used 4×4″ mini canvases from Michael’s)
Acrylic Paint (I used Lamp Black, Magenta, Pthalocyanine Green, Titanium White, Metallic Gold, Metallic Silver, Magenta, Violet, and Pthalocyanine Blue Artist’s Loft Paints)
(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!
Paint brushes (One big, medium, and small brush)
Water
Paper Towels
Palette (or paper plates)
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.

How to Draw Saint Martin de Porres

Did you know that during November we celebrate Black Catholic History month? In today’s tutorial, I walk you through how to draw Saint Martin de Porres step-by-step. We use simple lines and shapes and you can color him with your favorite art supplies.

Saint Martin’s father was a Spanish nobleman and his mother was a freed slave of African and Native descent. He is known for his work on behalf of the poor and you often see him holding a broom, a basket of bread, or surrounded by animals.

How to Make a Mini Mary Garden

Our local moms’ group did this really fun Mini Mary Garden craft on a recent retreat. It was so much fun! Everyone could customize their gardens to include different combinations of rocks, flowers, and moss.

This would be such a fun craft project to do with your women’s group, Bible study group, for teens/tweens in youth group, or a fun “mom and me” project to do with a child.

All of these supplies were generously donated by my local moms group. If you would like to support future videos, you can donate via my Buy Me a Coffee page or purchase something from my art supply wish list: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/amyheyseart
