Create it on Canvas

🎨📖 I've been working on a little project behind the scenes, and it's finally ready! We made a book!

For $15, young artists can enjoy a step-by-step painting guide featuring 25 different paintings and helpful tips they can use to create whenever they'd like. Whether they're looking for a rainy day activity, a creative afternoon, or a little extra painting practice, this book is full of fun ideas.

A special thank you to my daughters for helping along the way. They painted every project with me, helped me work through confusing steps, and shared kid-friendly wording that made the instructions easier to follow.

You can pick up a copy at:
🎨 Wonder Play Cafe
🎨 3Elephants & Company
or copies can be shipped directly to you

Or send Create it on Canvas a Facebook message, and I'll get you hooked up.

It also makes a fun gift for the young artist in your life! 🖌️💕

✨🎨 Introducing the newest kit from Create it on Canvas… NEON KITS! 🌈💡

Using special acrylic paint markers on black canvas, these creations end up looking like glowing neon signs — and they are SO much fun to make!

Each kit includes:
🖤 2 black canvas panels
✏️ One panel with a pencil outline to follow
🎨 One blank panel to create your own design
🤍 White acrylic marker
🌈 All necessary colored acrylic markers
📄 Step-by-step instructions

These kits are recommended for ages 8+ since they require a bit more fine motor control.

Summer weather teased us for a bit… ☀️
Then spring came rushing back with rain, clouds, and chilly temps. 🌧️

But over here at Create it on Canvas, we still have summer on the brain… 🎨🌴
