Next, let the fun begin!!! \u00a0The great thing about acrylic paint is that you can paint over top of mistakes, or paint layers to get the color or look you want! \u00a0I let the girls paint the silhouettes, and then I helped them with some touch-ups in the mistake areas&#8230;. \u00a0 if they went outside of the silhouette line, I tweaked it for them (they asked me for help)!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/andersruff.com\/custom-printable-parties\/diy\/ruff-draft-easter-paintings-with-free-easter-silhouette-templates-sale\/attachment\/easter-template-silhouette-canvas-painting-03\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-20560\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-20560\" title=\"easter-template-silhouette-canvas-painting-acrylic-paints\" src=\"http:\/\/andersruff.com\/custom-printable-parties\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/easter-template-silhouette-canvas-painting-03-640x209.jpg\" alt=\"coloring-pages-markers\" width=\"640\" height=\"209\" srcset=\"https:\/\/andersruff.com\/custom-printable-parties\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/easter-template-silhouette-canvas-painting-03-640x209.jpg 640w, https:\/\/andersruff.com\/custom-printable-parties\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/easter-template-silhouette-canvas-painting-03-300x98.jpg 300w, https:\/\/andersruff.com\/custom-printable-parties\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/easter-template-silhouette-canvas-painting-03-768x251.jpg 768w, https:\/\/andersruff.com\/custom-printable-parties\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/easter-template-silhouette-canvas-painting-03-790x258.jpg 790w, https:\/\/andersruff.com\/custom-printable-parties\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/easter-template-silhouette-canvas-painting-03-260x85.jpg 260w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I love that Brynne wanted to paint just the templates with an added detail of grass, and Grayce added an entire Easter scene&#8230;.<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Keep in mind that you can also add some color to the background if it is too light. \u00a0It is easier to touch-up the background at the end, then try to paint it entirely around the silhouettes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>5.
