Hello there, art-curious parents! In this video, were going to talk about painting... with your toddler...AT HOME! Before you go running away, let me help you through the nitty-gritty by sharing tips and tricks that I have learned from my experience as being a private school art teacher and parent of a toddler. I want to get you to a place where you feel prepared and ready to have controlled artistic expression with your toddler at home. I will go over the MATERIALS you will need (including paint, paintbrushes, and paper), I will show you LOCATIONS in your home that work well for painting, how to SET UP your space, WHAT TO TEACH your toddler, WHAT TO EXPECT while painting, and the CLEANUP process. Have a great time, and thank you for watching! \\* Materials List and Spotify Playlists are below the Chapter List *// :) Chapter List 0:00-0:42 - Introduction 0:43-4:40 - Locations to Paint 4:41-6:19 - Headspace 6:20-6:55 - Timing 6:56-8:04 - Clothing 8:05-8:17 - Tools and Materials 8:18-9:49 - Paint to Avoid 9:50-14:03 - Recommended Paint 14:04-18:10 - Paintbrushes 18:11-22:56 - Paper 22:57-24:04 - What to Teach? 24:05-26:06 - What to Expect? 26:07-26:43 - Art YouTube Videos for Young Kids 26:44-28:07 - Cleanup 28:08-29:50 - Preparing for Accidents ___________________________ MATERIALS I used in this Video HOME Foam Pads for floor https://geni.us/8vbCEL0 Easel https://geni.us/1XoRah Child Gates https://geni.us/GjjIa Mesh Bags https://geni.us/7AAVK5 Bathroom Hooks https://geni.us/RsnnSy Suction Bowl https://geni.us/XQDdk No-Spill Paint Cups https://geni.us/K3Hxp9 Toddler Apron https://geni.us/gWXi1Gz PAPER Paper Roll https://geni.us/YYXqH Tru-Ray https://geni.us/w7kpWF Watercolor Paper https://geni.us/rUmKNB PAINT Crayola Finger Paint Gouache https://geni.us/l3uliCQ Sax Tempera Paint https://geni.us/CiG1m4f Prang Half Pan Watercolor Tray https://geni.us/WuOUvW Yarka Watercolor https://geni.us/ZS8JVt Crayola Watercolor (Better Option) https://geni.us/ZWXgUW Crayola Bathtub paint https://geni.us/SAXb3U PAINTBRUSHES Chubby Wubby Brushes https://geni.us/3OGt2B Royal Paintbrushes https://geni.us/LOT6A Variety Pack 1 + Paint Cups https://geni.us/n6yALV Variety Pack 2 https://geni.us/vXsMS4I Variety Pack 3 https://geni.us/LmaB ___________________________ SPOTIFY PLAYLISTS Piano Beatz (Mixed Upbeat/low) https://open.spotify.com/playlist/36haoWQnKiPZtvbGHSPIge?si=3409389e505e4f22 Chill Out Music (chill) https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1DX32oVqaQE8BM?si=887a61debd4d49af Lofi https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0vvXsWCC9xrXsKd4FyS8kM?si=cd37a5344a874930 Classical for Art https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7IEOo2xwvHf1fWH9G3zOU5?si=db20aed278ca4f8f Happy Outdoor Party (upbeat) https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6U4kU3lJbCgGscxXFTEYbE?si=1bbc1f6f267d4e23 ___________________________ YouTube Art Videos for Young Children Three Primary Colors: Sesame Street and OK GO https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yu44JRTIxSQ ROY G.

This is a 6-hour acrylic portrait painting study I created for an upcoming online course, shown in 18 seconds. #shorts #artshorts #acrylicpaintingportrait The course will be available January 2022

In this artist diary, I try to figure out how to balance my art career and motherhood with a tight deadline of completing 9 Paintings in 3 weeks for the online courses I am creating... while being a full-time mom! Join the twists and turns, the ups and downs of being an artist/mother and see if I am able to complete this unrealistic timeline. Our family also visits a few of Los Angeles' favorite locations, including: Point Dume in Malibu, The Getty Center, and (my favorite Los Angeles Radio Station) KCRW Summer Nights Concert at the Descanso Gardens with my daughter and husband. #artistmom #Artistvlog #momvlog Chapters of the Story 0:00 - Working in Tbilisi, Georgia 2:00 - 9 Paintings in 3 Weeks - Point Dume, Malibu 5:34 - Week 1: The Mess of a Week 6:27 - Week 2: Sleep Deprivation - The Getty Center 10:53 - Week 3: A New Set of Challenges - KCRW Summer Nights at the Descanso Gardens ART COURSES AVAILABLE BEGINNING OF 2022 || CONNECT WITH US 🌗My Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bethgatza.art 🌘Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bethgatza.artist 🌑Website: https://www.bethgatza.com || MUSIC (Sign up for a FREE TRIAL of Epidemic Sound using this link ➡️ https://www.epidemicsound.com/referral/hujn47 ) 🎵 | Your Wave by Cospe | https://www.epidemicsound.com/track/H4k1PadtaB/ 🎵 | It's a Drag, a Blast (Clean Version) by Coma Svensson, Nikki Gee | https://www.epidemicsound.com/track/9eGvdPh5vA/ 🎵 | Safe Place by Maiwan | https://www.epidemicsound.com/track/MpxZCEGT7s/ 🎵 | Dance It Off by Elin Sandberg, Christine Smit | https://www.epidemicsound.com/track/UHbmGLlp0M/

In this acrylic portrait timelapse, I show you my process of how I painted this piece using a grayscale grisaille to build up transparent layers of paint. Grayscale underpaintings can help artists that struggle to match flesh tones with values. By focusing on your values first, then you can easily add transparent layers of color over the painting to achieve a sense of realism in your portrait paintings. #shorts
