Description :

This art piece features miniature clay boats sailing on a starry night lake. Inspired by Van Gogh, the swirling, vibrant sea is painted on canvas. The tiny clay boats are then carefully attached, creating a charming 3D effect. It's a creative and whimsical interpretation of a classic scene.

STEP 1 : Prepare the Canvas and Paint the Background
  • We are going to paint the canvas called boats in starry night lake, inspired by the starry night painting of Van Gogh, made in mixed mediums like the canvas, Acrylic Colours and the tiny boats with Mouldit clay.  

  • Draw the basic drawing with the girl lying on the lake's shore and placing paper boats gently onto the lake's surface.  

STEP 2 : Paint the canvas
  • Paint & create the background on the canvas inspired by Van Gogh's "Starry Night" using Acrylic Colours Burnt Sienna 01, Black 02, Prussian Blue 19, Yellow Ochre 26, White 27, Sky Blue 63 and Pastel Colours.   

  • Start by painting the water with swirling patterns.  

  • Incorporate the shore of the lake by painting it in shade of the sand along with the girl using appropriate colours.  

STEP 3 : Prepare the clay boats & finishing touches
  • Mix the Mouldit clay according to the package instructions.  

  • Shape the clay into small boat forms using your hands or clay tools.  

  • Create as many boats as you desire for your scene. Allow the clay boats to dry completely.  

  • Once dry, paint the boats with acrylic colors, choosing shades that complement your background.  

  • Arrange the painted clay boats on the canvas, positioning them in the lake area.  

  • Use a strong adhesive to securely attach the boats to the canvas.  

  • Your "Boats in Starry Night Lake" canvas painting, inspired by Van Gogh's masterpiece, is now complete and ready to be displayed.
