Resene kids art with Mark Rayner - Project 92

Difficulty level: Challenging

You will need: Paintbrushes (including artists’ brushes), Polystyrene head (ours came from ‘Spotlight’), Resene Quick Dry, Resene testpots in the following colours: Resene Alabaster, Resene Bright Red, Resene Nero, Resene New York Pink, Resene Shakespeare and Resene Tonys Pink

Top tip: If you want a shiny look, finish your superhero sculpture off with two coats of Resene Art Action glaze (gloss), allowing two hours for each coat to dry.

Here's another idea: This spooky space creature head was painted with testpots of Resene Alabaster, Resene Howzat, Resene Nero and Resene Super Duper.
