Valentine’s day is the perfect excuse to pull out the glitter, the pom poms and the paints and create something LOVELY. I’m big fan of the pinky colour schemes all over pintrest at this time of year, but I wanted to send my Little Artists something a little more challenging and colourful than just pink painted hearts.

Love Birds seemed the perfect place to start, their colourful bellies sitting on a branch made the perfect LOVE art lesson last Valentines Day.

The Little Artists inside my Art Club did so well following this video lesson, their results stunning! We used watercolour to create a base colour for our Love Birds and practiced blending for the belly. Once it was dry we used a small paint brush to add tiny brush stroke details to the wings and tropical flowers.

Because I’m feeling the love this Valentine’s Day, I wanted to offer your Little Artist this Art Lesson for FREE. That’s right! My Lovely Love Birds Art Lesson is all about using watercolour paints, learning fine brush strokes and blending techniques. Just set them up the art supplies, click ‘send’ and I’ll deliver this one straight to your inbox!

This lesson is perfect for kids as young as 5 and makes a perfect Valentines Day gift for Mum, or Nanna, or just a arty-noon of fun!
