A cup of fantasy!


Funny cups painted with tempera!  This is a good exercise to learn how many textures you can paint with tempera colours, and how many ways there are to use use a paintbrush. Enjoy!




paint the background with plain colours
when the surface is dry, add the texture

create your own texture!
use at least two colors for every pattern
draw the outline with a permanent marker

    Wow! Si può fare anche la tazza a tema, per esempio la tazza di Van Gogh, la tazza di Mirò, la tazza di Monet!!!!

      You could even think to do Mirò’s cup, or Van Gogh’s cup... why not?

    The black outline changes the work so much. They almost look like prints. Beautiful.
