Sand Painting Tutorial for Beginners

Basic Materials Required for Sand Painting

• Wooden board
• Sand
• Fevicol (any adhesive which can stick sand on board)
• Outliner or thick black thread
• Color
• Pattern traced on butter paper

Procedure for Sand Painting

• Clean your wooden board.
• Apply Primer and let it dry for 24 hours.
• Keep the carbon paper and then pattern on board; stick the edges of board, carbon paper and butter paper properly so while outlining the pattern the design traced is proper.
• Try outlining the design at one starch.
• The design is ready on your board, now you can outline it with outliner or stick black thick thread on outline of pattern.
• Fill the required oil/acrylic/fabric color in pattern.
• Once the color is dried out apply the Fevicol with help of brush in background and sprinkle sand on adhesive before it dry.
• As soon as you sprinkle sand on Fevicol remember to press it lightly with your thumb.
• Reverse the painting and tap it with finger so that extra sand falls down.
• Let it dry and frame it.
