3D Garden Scene

Search terms: garden art, wall art

  • Step 1Sketch out your design onto a piece of paper before you start to decorate your canvas. Look to our design for inspiration or come up with your own. Once you have a design, transfer it lightly onto your canvas using a pencil. This is not essential, but helps with planning your design.
  • Break off small pieces of clay and mould them into shapes with your hands before attaching them to your canvas.
  • Step 3To give your garden scene extra dimension attach the air hardening clay to your canvas by pressing it on with your fingers. Allow to dry. Attach any loose pieces of clay with glue.
  • Step 4Paint your scene in bright colours and allow to dry.
  • Step 5Add sparkle and texture by further decorating your scene with sequins, glitter, tissue paper and cellophane.
  • Step 6Take a look at our Modelling Tips for more information!
