Augustine Art @ Home, Simple Printmaking


I love doing this super easy printmaking project. I hope you enjoy creating your own prints as well! Please also check out my list of online museum exhibits below.

Materials needed:
Paper, for drawing and then something a little thicker for printing.
Pencil
One piece of tape
Foam, this type is called polystyrene (I think).  Something like a leftover container or bottom of a meat package that is cut to make a flat surface will work just fine.
Washable (water-based) markers
Flat bucket/bin for holding water
Newspaper
Paper towels





Some extra notes:
You don't need a fancy drying rack to dry your prints, they will dry nicely just laying flat on a tabletop or other flat surface.

Scratch Art Foam:

This is the paper I use:

My favorite washable markers:


I am praying that this week you would see evidence of God's beauty all around you. If you watched my first video on bird nests, you'll be happy to hear that the wild goose hatched four goslings on our pond this past week.
He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.” Psalm 91:4
