Today, I am also sharing photo tutorial of this beautiful Canvas Painting of Bal Ganesha, who is also making a painting of his favorite food "modak". Poor mouse is feeling that the modak is real and he is trying to grab the same climbing over the feet of Ganesha.

Best part in this painting is that even Ganesha is making his canvas painting using Immix colors ;) :)

And also, as every artist needs a peaceful place with a cup of coffee or any snack to munch while enhancing their creativity.. likewise here in this painting you will see Ganesha lying halfway down on his cot, relaxing his arm over a cushion and also has his favorite delicacy besides him, which is, a bowl full of modaks.

Materials used for making this painting will be written against each photo and it will be seen highlighted wherein you can just click and go to the Expression craft store page to buy that product. 

So, let's begin with the tutorial.

Step 1: Here, I have used a canvas board of size 12" x 10" and applied a coat of Immix Clear Gesso. Then with the help of HB staedtler pencil I have drawn a sketch of Ganesha in his bal (kid) avatar.

Step 2: For background I have used two chalk paints - Fancy yellow and Coral peony. And applied the same diagonally with dabber brush.

Step 4: Then for the painting which ganesha is making - to color modak I have used two chalk paints Fancy yellow and coral peony. And for its green background I have used two metallic paints Mermaid Song and Citron Verdes. And the stand of the canvas board was colored with Intense copper shimmer metallic paint
