Supplies for this Easy Sloth Painting

• Wood Slice
• Acrylic Paint
• Paint Brushes

Directions for Sloth Art Tutorial

1. Start by painting the background. I like to apply the paint directly to the wood slice and then use a flat flash to blend the paint colors. I don’t worry about the blending being perfect.
2. Let the background dry completely. This should only take a few minutes as acrylic paint dries quickly as long as you don’t put too much on. Once dry, paint the tree branch with several smaller branches coming off.
3. Next add a variety of leaves to the tree branch. I like to use several different colors of green.
4. For the flowers don’t worry about a clean design. Make a variety of half circles with different shades of orange to create a flower design. 
5. Lightly outline the sloth design with a pencil and then paint it. 
6. Add the sloth details for the claws and the face using a small paint brush. 
7. To paint the clouds start with white and then an additional color like pink or blue. 
8. As a finishing touch, add stars and a moon.
