DIY Phone Cover Painting Tutorial
Have you ever thought about how much you've grown with your best friend? From sitting next to each other in school every day to scheduling meet-ups, from exchanging glances in a difficult exam hall to venting about a bad day at work. From cheering each other's new outfits to celebrating a big promotion, from sharing school gossips to life’s crisis. The circumstances have changed, but the companionship remains the same.
This amazing person in your life deserves something special this Friendship Week. Give them a handmade gift, with our DIY gift ideas, that they can carry with them always. Create a personalized phone cover, and they'll cherish it and proudly show it off wherever they go.
If you’re planning to gift your best friend a piece of your artistic skills, the Menorah sketchbook is the perfect canvas. The 240 GSM paper with its fine-toothed texture is the best paper for gouache and a variety of mediums, including Gouache, Acrylics, Fine Liners, Opaque Pens, Coloured Pencils, Pen Art, Charcoal, Graphite, Soft Pastels, and Oil Pastels. The best part? It's 100% acid-free, ensuring that your handmade gift remains vibrant and intact without yellowing over time.
Here are the steps to recreate this DIY Phone cover painting by @artistic_galleria
Materials required
- Menorah Gouache pad
- Gouache paint
- Pencil
- Scissor
- Flat brus
- Round brush
- Take a sheet of Gouache paper and lightly draw the outline of the transparent mobile cover with a pencil.
- Use a flat brush to paint the background of the gouache paper beige and let it dry completely.
- Once the background is dry, draw the outline of watermelon slices with a pencil on the gouache painting paper.
- Fill in the pulp of the watermelon slices with crimson red gouache.
- Decorate the rest of the background with small leaves and dots in red and green.
- Paint the outer layer of the rind with pine green gouache and the inner layer with regular green. For added definition, apply a thin layer of white gouache between the rind and pulp on the gouache paper pad.
