Resene kids art with Mark Rayner - Project 86

Difficulty level: Moderate

You will need: Paintbrushes (including a fine artists’ brush), Paper maché pony (ours came from ‘Spotlight’), Resene Quick Dry, Resene Testpots in the following colours: Resene Alabaster, Resene Burnt Umber, Resene Mai Tai, Resene Nero and Resene Sambuca

Top tip: If you don’t have a paper maché pony like this one, you can make your own from PVA glue and newspaper.

Here's another idea: Make your very own shiny Black Beauty using Resene Alabaster, Resene Sambuca and Resene Nero, finishing off with two coats of Resene Multishield+ gloss (now Resene Concrete Clear).
