Ocean Painting for Mom

Soon it will be mothers day so I want to make something for my mom. I love my mom so much she has done so much for me. Her favorite present would most likely be good grades, me shuting up, and becoming a better basketball player. But we all know thats going to take time. The shuting up part.... Well anyways I decided to make my mom a painting made be ME of the ocean. Since she loves the beach! In this blog I will show you how to make it.
What you will need:
-a canvas
-sand (I got mine from Florida)
- paint (yellow, light brown, dark blue, light blue, and white)
- paint brushes
- sea shells (tiny)
-hot glue

1) For the ocean I did not just stroke the paint one way. I went everywhere in a X formation. I used an ombre affect of dark blue to very light blue.

2) I then mixed the yellow and light brown to make a sand color. I as well stroked in a X formation for the sand for better texture. While the sand was still wet I sprinkled sand on it.

3) I then glued small sea shells also from Florida onto the sand.

I finished! Now all I have to do is wrap it up and wait for Mothers Day. Then give it to my loving mom.
