DESIGN EASTER CARDS WITH MARABU SQUEEGEE ART PASTEL.


Making your own Easter cards is easy with the Squeegee Art Set. In no time at all, you can create a pastel-colored hilly landscape with colorful bunnies on top, which you can decorate in a fun or minimalist style—perfect as a small gift or greeting for Easter.

HOW IT IS DONE:

1

Cover the work surface with paper. Have a piece of paper from the pastel set and kitchen towels ready to wipe the squeegee after each color.

2

Squeeze the acrylic paints directly from the tube onto the paper. For the green hilly landscape, draw a line with the acrylic paint on the right and left edges of the paper, one after the other.

Using the squeegee, pull down slightly more than half the width of the paper in one stroke. Clean the squeegee.

For the rabbits, sketch the ears with a small gap between them using acrylic paint in a single line, then pull the squeegee downwards in a smooth motion. Clean the squeegee after each step.

The individual layers of paint dry very quickly, so that another layer of paint can be applied immediately and raked again. This creates transparent overlays and new colors.

You can now add details to the rabbits using the permanent marker. Fine lines or small illustrations that emphasize or expand on the colored areas are particularly suitable.

Make small pom-poms using either a pom-pom maker or a fork.

Glue these onto the bottom of the bunnies as flowers.

TIPS & TRICKS
  • The most beautiful results come from spontaneous colour gradients. Don't overwork the piece — it's precisely these random effects that give squeegee art its special charm.
