Paper Mache Bowl, Part 2

As promised, here is my follow up to yesterday's post. This bowl was made and painted by a very talented kinder, believe it or not.

1. I did a bit of prep work by spray painting the outside bowl with a very quick layer of white spray paint. It wasn't enough to totally cover up the newsprint, just maybe half of it or so. When the students worked with their acrylic paint, it seemed to help keep the colors bright and pretty opaque. They began by generously covering both the outside and inside of their bowls with their favorite color.

2. The last step was to add any detail design. Smaller brushes were available to paint stripes or spots. 

3. After the bowls are completely dry, they are sprayed with a gloss sealer to protect and add a bit of shine. My opinion is that a glossy shine will make almost any project look it's best.
