Here's an idea for a no-fail method that has always worked out beautifully. - Tape down a piece of paper leaving whatever amount you want of it exposed - Have the person choose color(s) of paint & encourage them to paint all over the exposed paper...you can use brushes, sponges, etc./ long strokes, dabs etc...whatever they want/ are able to. -While it is drying, have the person choose a pre-cut shape of a leaf -After the paper has dried, place the leaf shape over the painted section, trace & then cut out. I then usually glue it to a black background & laminate it. It's great to see someone proud of their work!
Sooooo happy and thankful I have this medium as it saves so much time and energy collecting info and collating it. Thank you everyone for all your ideas it covers sooo much!
