Sports Theme Dala Horse

As you can see, I designed this a few years ago for a kid that was doing both Soccer and American Football but you could customize the design for whatever sport or activity means the most to you.

MATERIALS:

Wooden Horse

Acrylic Paints-

Black

White

brown

green 

yellow 

pencil

 1.sketch your design on both sides of the horse in pencil.
 2. Begin to paint in you shapes
 3. For the grassy area, base coat in in black and brown
     (you want to give the illusion of soil)
 4. Work the grass over the base coat with a liner brush
     and green paint, adding a bit of yellow from time to time to
     get different shades of green as you add all of the little blades of grass.
                                          4a. be sure that bits of the "dirt" peek through,
                                                it will make the grass stand out.
