This is what we did today.
We used these acrylic paints and real artist canvas frames.
Quinn painted Godzilla with bloody teeth (Ew. Not sure I want to know what "Zilly" had been eating). He's a big fan of Godzilla these days, although he's never seen any of his movies.
Riley went more for the abstract. Can't you see this on a museum wall? He was quite serious about his art. You can't see it, but he even has the paint texture on his art (although I don't think that was done on purpose, but hey, it works!)
Here are all of them together. Kevin's is the top left, a beach scene, and mine is the orange house. Look closely and you can see the texture on Riley's art.
The boys really enjoyed using the canvas-I think they really felt like real artists. We are going to hang them up in the hall, on our own museum wall.

This looks like so much fun! We are going to try this too!!
I think they turned out beautifully!! My two love painting on a canvas too - I think you're right, it does make them feel really special like real artists.
