This is a simple technique for children to master but the resultant Eid silhouette picture is beautiful. Use for a special Eid card, or put your picture on display.
Here's our finished Eid silhouette.
You will need:
2 primary colours of paint (we have used blue and yellow, but red and yellow would look good too)
Card
Black marker pen
Instructions:
Using your darkest colour (blue for us) paint the bottom half of the card.
Mix a small amount of the second paint colour into the first and paint a bit further up the card. Repeat and keep going until the card is covered.
Leave to dry.
With your marker pen, draw an outline of a skyline with mosques (masjids). Colour under the line black.
To finish, add a crescent moon and star.
This technique would make a lovely Eid card, or you could frame your picture for display each year.
Here is our Eid silhouette picture, framed. Beautiful!
