Popsicle Art ☀️

We are using a 5x7 canvas to create some cute popsicle art, complete with a real popsicle stick! I'll show you how to paint this from start to finish and we'll add on some glass seed beads and resin too. This is such a fun, easy summer project!

Grab your tracer, tape it to your canvas, place graphite paper underneath, and trace your popsicle onto your canvas with a stylus. 

I'm going to paint around my sketched popsicle with some white paint and a tiny bit of Tropical Blue mixed in. I'll also paint the sides of my canvas too. Dry with a heat tool.

I decided to paint my popsicle a mix of red, yellow, and orange. I'm going to start with my yellow at the top, then orange, and then red - blending them together where they meet. Dry with a heat tool.

Let's work on details! Grab your tracer and trace on the little indentations of the popsicle. In the yellow area, I am going to take some orange on the corner of my brush and add it to the indentation to create a shadow. In the orange area, I am going to the same thing with red paint. In the red area, I'll do the same thing with black paint.

Across the top of my popsicle and on the front, I'll add some white paint to create a little highlight. I'll also add some orange to the top right of the popsicle too.

Next, cut your popsicle stick to size. Add a dab of tacky glue and add it to your canvas. Take your graphic pen and add some short strokes outlining your popsicle and the indentations. 

We're going to elevate our canvas using blocks. Mix 1/4 ounce of resin and stir gently for three minutes. Pour 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!

Finally, I will sprinkle some Crystal Luster seed beads onto my popsicle.
