Sand painting

Creating paintings is a very time-consuming process and not everyone can do it. An alternative can be a picture created by sand. Such creativity will be liked not only by adults, but also by children.
To work, you will need:
- blank drawing on an adhesive basis,
- drawing template,
- sand of various colors.
Harvesting can be done independently on double-sided tape. Sand is purchased at a creative store or painted independently. Now ready-made kits with a template, base and all the necessary sand are available for sale. This is a simple and enjoyable way to create a sand painting. More laborious is the creation of everything on their own. For more comfortable work, it is recommended to stick the base to any cardboard. This is necessary for greater durability of the finished picture.
The principle of creating a picture is very simple. It is necessary to remove the protective film from the base of only one color of interest to us in turn.
After everything is covered with sand.
Sand in places with the film removed is pressed gently with your finger to better fix the sand. When all areas are crushed, excess sand is removed by turning the picture in a vertical position.
Leftovers can be saved for other paintings or other type of creativity. They can also be thrown away.
Such an operation is performed with each color in turn.
Do not rush to work. Some tips for creating a picture:
1) It is better to stick the base on double-sided tape or, in extreme cases, on glue with a pencil. PVA is better not to use. It will soften the base and the adhesive part will be removed along with the film.
2) For convenient film removal, you can use a stationery knife or tweezers to pick up the edges.
3) The finished picture can be covered with ordinary hairspray so that the grains of sand do not crumble and the picture delights the eye for a long time.
Such paintings look unusual and beautiful in any interior. You can issue them in ordinary frames and hang on the walls.
Work involves a lot of crumbling sand on the table and floor. After work, it’s better to take a vacuum cleaner and collect the excess. Creativity is very simple and exciting. Accessible and interesting to children.
