Cherry blossom magic on the canvas

„Inspired by nature, the children painted a spring-like picture with blossoming trees in this creative workshop at the painting circus.

A The cherry blossom branch that stood in the centre of the table immediately appealed to the children. They vividly reported where they had seen such a tree before: on the way to school, in grandma's garden...

After priming the canvas, the children painted a tree trunk with lots of branches. We could see a large tree from the window of our workshop. We took a close look at it. The children painted lots of branches and delicate green leaves.

To depict the lush cherry blossoms, we mixed texture paste into the acrylic colours.

The children worked with great concentration and detail.

Painting on an easel was something new and special for most of them.

In the end, everyone was very proud of the great works of art!“ - Barbara Henschke
