They turned out fabulous! To make it easy on me and the kids, I pre-cut whimsical circle shapes from watercolor paper which the kids painted. I then painted the canvas a solid color with acrylic paint. I attached the circles with Mod Podge and then covered with 2 layers of Mod Podge to protect. I do not have a link but could send you a Word document showing the completed projects ...... I can't wait to see how much money they raise at our auction tomorrow night!

It turned out GREAT! We mounted the paintings on hardboard which my husband cut and added a support frame in the back. It is hanging in our boys' art room and looks so colorful and playful.

I have found since this I have made this large mural with the kids, that thick card stock paper works best with acrylic paint, and a thick watercolor paper works ultimately with watercolor paints- so I haven't used velum since. But I would add that the stretched canvas will crack sooner with Mod Podge, than a hard, non-flexible surface :) You can buy a stretched canvas on hard board at the art store also. <br />I'm happy to help you with anything else... trial and error...<br />thanks for stopping by :)<br />cheers,<br />Candicecandice ashment arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17488221113179626831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1240635446172741107.post-88580392411901247882012-01-26T10:17:24.278-07:002012-01-26T10:17:24.278-07:00Yes, send me a link!

I'm not an artist but do like crafting - I have never used vellum paper - why did you use this instead of watercolor paper for example? Also, will this adhear via Mod-Podge to a stretched canvas? I'm afraid I'm not handy enough to do the wood work.
