<h2><strong>December is the month of love, friendship but also gifts! Why not try to make your own gifts and surprise your loved ones with a handmake painting?&nbsp;</strong></h2>
<p><strong>You can do it, I promise!&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p><strong>Let me show you how you can create something colorful in an easy way!&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p><br></p>

<h2><strong>For this painting you will need:&nbsp;</strong></h2>
<p><strong>* canvas ( I used a 20cm x 20cm )<br>
* Acrylic paint in the colors you like<br>
* Acrylic paint black<br>
* Brushes<br>
* Water<br>
* palet for your paint<br>
* Kitchen towel</strong></p>
<p><br></p>
<p><br></p>
<h1><strong>LET'S GET STARTED!!!</strong></h1>

<p><strong>^^<br>
I started with the light yellow and will work all the way up to the darkest color on my palet.<br>
I did not use any water to make the paint thinner. I prefer for these kind of paintings, the paint as thick as possible.&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p><br></p>

<p><strong>^^<br>
To make sure the colors blend on your canvas you keep going over them! To help the paint blend you can wet your brush just a little bit with water.&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p><br></p>

<p><strong>^^<br>
After adding all colors to the canvas, I drizzled a few specks of colors over the whole canvas to add some more details in a fun way!<br>
You can now take a break and let it dry, or follow the next step as well.&nbsp;</strong></p>

<strong>^^<br>
To add some more details/texture I dipped my brush into clean water and let the drups fall down on the canvas. I wated 30 seconds before pushing down the paper towel! With this you lift/clean the paint from the canvas and it leaves nice color shapes.<br>
When the whole painting was dry, I started to draw the shapes of the pebbles onto the canvas.</strong></p>

<p><strong>^^<br>
Now you are going to use your black paint to create all the colorful pebbles on your painting! I did not mix my black paint with water. I wanted the paint as thick as possible to make sure I did not have to paint it three times.<br>
Acrylic paint can be rather see through if you mix it up too much.</strong></p>
<p><br></p>

<p><br></p>
<p><strong>^^<br>
Just keep adding the black and make sure, if you have a thick canvas, to also cover the sides with some black paint! This will make your painting really look better!<br>
I used two layers of black paint. Between the layers I stepped back to let the paint dry.&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p><br></p>

<p><strong>And there you have it! A nice and colorful pebble painting!<br>
You can do this with all kinds of colors and shapes!<br>
Its fast, easy and really fun to do!&nbsp;</strong></p>
