Resene kids art with Mark Rayner - Project 50

Difficulty level: Challenging

You will need: A piece of stiff cardboard (ours measured approximately 35cm x 45cm), Paintbrushes (including anartists’ brush) Resene Quick Dry waterborne primer undercoat, Resene Testpots of Resene Kingfisher Daisy, Resene Kitsch, Resene Pizazz, Resene Torea Bay and Resene Yellow Sea.

Top tip: To play the game, take it in turns to drop a plastic counter over the board. Whichever circle it lands on, add or subtract that number from the score. First player to get to fifty wins!

Here's another idea: Create a different design using a base of Resene Get Reddy with squares and numbers painted in Resene Paua and Resene Celery.
