A Paper Mache Landscape Art

The project celebrates creativity and innovation in art. In this project, we have crafted a vibrant landscape on canvas using paper mache and colors. This playful and engaging endeavor began with creating paper mache, blending it with a spectrum of colors, and then applying the colorful paste onto our canvas. Through this process, we aimed to capture the essence of nature’s beauty and the enchanting hues of a rainbow. Join us as we explore the artistic journey of transforming simple materials into a captivating piece of landscape art.

• Canvas
• Acrylic paints
• Palette Painting Knives
• Palette for mixing colors
• Craft Glue
• Pencil and eraser
• Water container (for cleaning brushes if using acrylic paints)

• Tear paper into small pieces
• Soak them for 1 day
• Grind the paper next day into mache/paste.
• Strain them.

• Take small quantities of paper mache.
• Mix them with craft glue.
• Mix the require colors.
• Make the paste to start.

• Make the illustration ready on the canvas before starting the color process.
• Start applying the colored paper paste gently on the canvas.
• Imagination is the limit now.
• Try giving 1-2 days to dry the canvas before framing.

• Here we used wooden bits to make a custom frame. We cut the bits at 45 degrees and attached them using nails.
• Heated the wooden frame to create a burnt texture.
• Coated the frame with wood varnish to give it a glossy look.

In conclusion, the project is more than just an art project; it is a testament to the power of creativity and the joy of artistic expression. By mastering the techniques of paper mache and color blending, we have brought a dynamic and vivid landscape to life on canvas. This project not only highlights the beauty of nature and the spectrum of colors in a rainbow but also showcases the endless possibilities of combining traditional and innovative art forms. We hope our work inspires others to explore their own artistic potential and to see the world through a more colorful and imaginative lens.
