How To Paint An Elephant

​Welcome to Friday Freebies. Today I'm going to show you how easy it is to paint this elephant. You can use water color, markers, tempera paint, acrylics or pastels to complete. 

I'm sharing this painting project to show you just how easy it is to complete something really pretty, for yourself or for a gift. 
This is a great little project for the kids too.

Let's get you started.

Instructions:

Below  download the 'file' of the outlines for coloring in, like a coloring page if you wish. This is good for the little ones, or use it yourself to get the outline of the elephant and more.

Under that you'll see the free reference photo I downloaded from Pixabay. I cropped it because I liked it better this way. Next you'll see the photos & step by step process I used to complete the painting.
​
​Ready, set Go! What every you do.....Have Fun.

Oh and if you finish your painting please share it with me on my FaceBook Page: https://www.facebook.com/SusieECaron.Twee/

Thank you and Many Hugs,
​Susie Caron
