Sufi's Chalkboard
Sufi's Chalkboard is filled with spring snowdrops, crocuses and tiny grape hyacinths, but you can draw any springtime imagery you love. This guide is to bring you inspiration for your own sweetly springtime image to delight your darlings.
Begin by lightly sketching your image onto a piece of paper as it's easier to work on the smaller scale first
Once you're happy, begin transferring the image to your chalkboard (it does NOT have to be this large a board)
Add lots of little elements like snowflakes to fill out the blank spaces
Build up the colours, thinking about where the light would fall
Add light tones to build upon
Now begin chalking over the top of your white image with colour
Use your fingertips to blend colours together
Add a deeper colour to shadowy areas
Think about adding a sweet little elven friend
Don't worry about being too precise; this adds to the dreaminess of the picture
Once you are finished, your littles can either copy onto a chalkboard of their own or directly into a book so they can keep their drawings forever
We would love to see your family's own drawings so that we can share them on our social media platforms!
Wishing you a truly magical day x
