Bonsai Tree Painting

This is for Day 8 with the theme of "Bonsai" at 30 Days of Creativity and I chose to paint over an old calendar.

Items used:

• Gold, brown and green acrylic paint
• Sponge Paintbrush.

I painted over the calendar to cover the dates - it took 4 coats.  Then I painted the tree shape in brown and then dabbed the green paint on to give it texture.
