Mud Painting
By: Allison Tierney
Mud painting is a great way to get creative outdoors! Did you know that many famous artists have made works using mud as a main material. Here are a few:
Materials:
Containers filled with dirt - try to find different colors of dirt or clay in your yard
Water
Paintbrush
Surface to paint on - paper, canvas, cardboard, driveway, concrete wall (mud can be washed away!)

Now, just start painting. Make sure to give your mud a stir each time you use it as it will want to settle.
You can make anything! Since I was painting with mud, I used nature as inspiration. But couldn't help making an abstract painting as well!
