This hand carved wooden bird is ready for your creative touch. Paint it like a seagull to capture Northern Michigan beach days, or add polka dots and stripes for a fun, whimsical look.
Hand carved from wood by Shelly Drews and designed especially for our Art Café, this fun bird stands on its own and can be painted on both sides for double the creativity. Its smooth wooden surface and sturdy base make it easy to paint and perfect for all ages and skill levels.
Come paint your fish in our Art Café at Laughing Fish Gallery in the Grand Traverse Commons.
If you plan to paint here in person - we will supply paint and brushes for you to complete this project.
Recommended Paint:
Acrylic paint works best for our wood Art Café Projects.
We love Folk Art Multi Surface Paints as well as Apple Barrel Multi Surface Paints
Tips:
Start with a neutral base coat on your project first. The wood absorbs a lot of paint, so laying down one solid layer helps the other colors glide on more smoothly and look more vibrant.
If you really wanna go all the way, give your project a light sanding after your base coat dries. Focus on the edges and sand off any rough bits of wood left by the band saw.
