Resene kids art with Mark Rayner - Project 60

Difficulty level: Moderate

You will need: Paintbrushes (including an artists’ brush), Pencil, Piece of MDF, Polystyrene packing chips, PVA glue, Resene Quick Dry waterborne primer undercoat, Resene testpots of Resene Alabaster and Resene Torea Bay, Small pebbles, a few pieces of ribbon, twigs, a nozzle from a glue tube, and a cap from a takeaway coffee cup

Top tip: Don’t stand your picture upright until the glue has thoroughly dried, otherwise the pieces of collage might slip.

Here's another idea: Create this fun pencil holder from a small cardboard box – simply paint with Resene Blackberry and Resene Pizazz and glue on a few polystyrene chips.
