How to make a Kandinsky painting with markers
- Draw center lines lightly with a pencil.
- Draw a triangle in the corner with the brush marker and fill in.
- Choose a new color and make another triangle.
- Une another marker color and draw another triangle. It’s actually good if the colors bleed, it will look more like a painting.
- Choose another color and finish the diamond shape.
- Start to make the diamond grow by adding bars on each side. Try to make some thick and some thin. Repeat this until you reach the edges.
- When your diamond is as large as can be, fill in the corners with a final color. Smear a few edges a bit too, just for fun.
- Display your mini masterpiece of a popsicle stick easel and have a mini art show!
