​Mix media ideas


​What you need:  white paper, makers and foil!

1. Draw anything you want on the white piece of paper with black marker (you can also use sharpie if you have one).
2. Get a piece of foil. Be sure its the same size of your white paper or a little bigger.
3. Color the foil with markers. You can paint it any way you want, it doesn't have to be stripes - as the picture shows - you can do random organic shapes too!
4. Once you finish, place the white paper on top of the foil (drawing facing down). Press down gently, like you are petting a dog ;). Be sure you press the whole paper down evenly. Your paper must be a little damp.(use a sponge)
5. Slowly Peel off.  Voila!!
