Supplies for Hot Air Balloon Painting Easy
- Mason Jar Wood Cutout – I used this wood mason jar. Similar option here and here.
- Acrylic Paint – I like Mont Marte acrylic paint and Liquitex Basics acrylic paint and Arteza Acrylic Paint
- Paint Brushes – I don’t use fancy brushes, but I do like to use a flat brush to blend the background colors.
Directions
- 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 typically blend two colors at a time, cleaning my brush between sections. I don’t mind the colors overlapping and streaking into one another and I find that a drier brush helps with adding dimension. Don’t worry about the blending being perfect.
- To add the clouds use a round brush and start with just white.
- At the bottom of each cloud add a bit of color. For the clouds in the blue background add blue and add blue and pink in the middle and lower clouds. Â Â Â
- Once the clouds are finished, draw in pencil an outline of the hot air balloon.
- Paint each section of the hot air balloon with a small round paint brush. Â
- Small white lines help to accent the balloon.Â
- Add the hot air balloon basket and ropes.
- At the top of the mason jar wood cutout paint silver for the lid and add dark gray lines. Â Â
