Love Bugs, Grand Opening, Art Shows, and More!


 

Love Bugs, Grand Opening, Art Shows and More!




Winter Classes are in full swing here at the studio and we're so excited to see so many new and returning students. A busy studio is a happy studio!

Our Pooler studio Grand Opening is approaching and we decided to combine the Opening with a Art Show. Love Bugs is our theme and we'll be transforming the studio into a exotic garden. A ribbon cutting ceremony, refreshments, Valentine crafts, and surprises are all part of the fun!

Here's how to make your own love bugs at home!

 

Love Bugs Projects

This is a fun, easy painting project! My only requirement was that the bugs were bright and colorful. I had everyone draw their bugs extra big to make painting easier and to ensure they did not lose their shape or any details.

 

Materials:

Love bug drawing sheet (although feel free to create your own style of bug)
practice paper
pencil
Bristol paper
paints
brushes



Step One

Start by practicing drawing the love bugs. Some students wanted to create their own which was great!



Step Two

Pick your favorite love bug and redraw, using the whole piece of paper. Outline in black crayon.



 

Step Three

Paint love bug and background using lots of bright, jewel like color. Finish by outlining with black paint using a small brush.




Love Bugs!
