How? Let’s
start with Impressionism. Way back when (I’m talking about back in the days of
Monet, Manet and Degas) the Impressionist painters took their easels outside
and captured what they saw – the setting, the season, the time of day and the
natural light. So, with that in mind we’re going outside to paint too!
Okay, maybe
you don’t have an easel. Don’t worry about buying one (or truing to DIY one).
Your child can put her paper on the ground or any other solid surface – such as
a picnic table, clip board or even a thick piece of a reused cardboard box.
Now you
might be asking, “How is my child going to paint like an Impressionist, without
a paintbrush?” Look around you. You’re outside, and what do you see? Ask your
child. She’ll tell you – trees, plants and other growing greens. Grab a few
leaves and make your own brush. The leaf brush adds texture and is a fun way
for your child to explore making art.
And, now on
to the actual painting process…
Here’s What
You’ll Need:
·
Cardstock
paper
·
Leaves
·
Scissors
·
A
rubber band (or yarn)
Here’s What
to Do:
1. Bundle the
leaves together.
2. Bind the
leaves with the band, or tie them with yarn.
3. Cut the
top of the leaf bundle, making slits to create a ‘brush’.
4. Pour the
paint onto a palette (we use wax paper as a less expensive option). Try using only the primary colors (red, blue and yellow) plus white. This gives your child the chance to mix her own hues.
5. Take a
look around (your child should be outside). Ask your child what she sees. Talk
about the light, the time of day, the time of year and anything else in the
environment.
6. Start
painting! Your child can paint the grass, the trees, the skies or whatever else
she sees. Dip the leaf ‘brush’ into the paint and dab it onto the paper. Layer
color on top of color. If the brush starts filling with too many colors, make a
new one.
7. Add
smaller details with a rolled leaf. Simply roll up the leaf, like a scroll, and
use the end as a paintbrush.

I'm an oil painter so I'll take a stab at answering. For me at least, I can estimate the lights and shadows, but I cannot be detailed or get little things like reflected light without a reference. Maybe that'll come with practice, or Get Essay Done. I think most artists (that go for realism) use references most of the time.
