Last year during Lent, my friend Cate taught me how to make pysanky eggs and I thought the process was so cool that I knew I wanted to share it on my channel! She graciously agreed to be a guest in today’s tutorial. She demonstrates how to prepare and create a pysanky egg using an original design that she created.

In today’s tutorial, I walk you through how to paint a Lenten painting with a crown of thorns and a cross symbol step-by-step. A great project for your Catholic small group or family!
Canvas, Board, or thick paper of your size choice (I used an 8×10” Artist’s Loft Canvas from Michael’s) Dick Blick and Master’s Touch (Hobby Lobby) are also great canvas options Acrylic Paint (I used Lamp Black, Titanium White, Metallic Bronze, Metallic Silver, and Violet 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 and one small, though a medium sized option could be nice too) Water Paper Towels Palette (or paper plates) Apron or a Shirt that you wouldn’t mind getting messy Chalk or a Pencil 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.
