Ladybird, a picture on a stone: a master class

In the manufacture of ladybirds it is necessary to do the following:

  1. Stones should be thoroughly washed and dried. Then mixing the PVA glue with water in the same ratio, apply a brush to the surface of all the stones. Due to this, the surface of each stone will be leveled and the paints will not be absorbed.
  2. When the PVA layer dries, cover the stones with white acrylic paint, diluted with water until the consistency of kefir. This is necessary so that the colors that we paint later, looked bright and juicy.
  3. After drying the acrylic layer on each pebble with a pencil, draw the main contours.
  4. And now you can deal directly with the painting of a ladybird made of stone. First, draw all the details with red acrylic paint in two layers, so that the paint looks bright. Then we apply black paint on the front and back parts of future winged insects. At us such bases have turned out: some divine boxes are larger and the others of the smaller size.
  5. Now, in the making of the crafts of the ladybug, the most painstaking step is coming - the drawing of small details. First, draw a thin brush with black dots on the red part of the insect.
  6. Thin lines in the middle of the body and the wings of the ladybug are conveniently applied with a black gel pen.
  7. It is also necessary to draw a muzzle to our beauties. On the front of each stone, white paint depicts oval eyes, cilia and a smiling mouth.
  8. We apply acrylic lacquer for fixing the painting and giving a glossy luster.

It remains only to arrange these crafts to give a ladybug on a stump, in the grass or in any other cozy corner of your infield.
