Balloon Bunny 🐰

I am using a 5x7 canvas to create a fun and festive bunny art piece with an Easter egg balloon. We'll be adding lots of fun embellishments like glass and some cute daisies that I grabbed from Hobby Lobby. This is an adorable art piece for the spring season and the Easter holiday!

Grab your tracer, tape it to the canvas, place transfer paper underneath, and transfer the outline of your bunny and balloon with a stylus onto the canvas. 

I am going to paint my background with Calypso Blue and white, just painting around the bunny and balloon. I'm going to paint my canvas edges too. Let dry or dry with a heat gun. 

I'm going to paint my Easter egg balloon with a base coat of white paint and then I'm going to add some Crocus Yellow. I'll also add a base coat of white paint to my bunny too. Then, I'll add some Hauser Green Light to the bottom of my canvas for grass. Let dry or dry with a heat gun.

Now we're going to add some color to our Easter egg. I'm using Dragonfruit Pink to add a stripe in the middle and some small flowers. I'll take a liner brush with green paint and add some dots to my flower centers. I'll also add some white polka dots with the end of my paintbrush. 

Next, we'll work on painting our bunny, which is going to be the back of the bunny. I'll add a coat of white paint and then I'll paint the smallest hint of Dragonfruit pink onto his ears, head, and body. I'll add some more Hauser Green grass in front of the bunny body. Let dry or dry with a heat gun.

Let's add some details! I'll take my graphic pen and add some short strokes around my Easter egg balloon and add some lines around my flowers and dots. I'll also add the balloon string and bow, and some more details lines on my bunny. I'll add some lines in my grass as well. 

I'll add some tacky glue to the dots on the pink band of my Easter egg and then I'll add a glass bubble to each one. I also have these adorable daises that I got from Hobby Lobby that I'll add to the bottom of my canvas in the grass. I'll layer some on top of each other too.

Next, we will add resin. We're going to elevate our canvas using blocks. Mix 1/4 ounce of resin and stir gently for three minutes. Then, drizzle over your glass. Pour the remainder of the resin onto your canvas and spread it using your gloved fingers or brush.

Use a heat gun to pop your bubbles. Keep your heat moving at all times!
