Submitted by Paula Riggins<\/em><\/p>\n

I was so excited to do the Painting\u00a0badge with the girls since I really enjoy going to those new paint and sip classes around town.\u00a0 I started by searching for amateur paint channels on YouTube, there are tons to choose from.\u00a0 I settled on a birch tree painting because it had so many interesting steps, would work with two different kinds of paint and used brushes as well as a household object. \u00a0I went cheap with the watercolors but used nice painting paper.\u00a0 I wish I would have just gotten canvas because our main project turned out so nice.<\/p>\n

Before our first scout meeting,<\/strong> \u00a0I added water to the watercolors so it was already softening up when the girls were ready to paint and asked girls to bring paint shirts.\u00a0 The first step in our painting was to use masking tape to blank out the spaces that would be later be tree trunks. \u00a0The tape goes off the top of the page but ends before the bottom at heights varying an inch or two.\u00a0 Make sure you tear and not use scissors for the right look, then lightly draw a line in pencil with one third of the page below and two thirds above the line.<\/p>\n

\"Painting<\/a>At that point, we discussed colors and how they make you feel.\u00a0 I showed the girls how to paint the sky with horizontal lines and talked about how the colors would show the moods or the weather. Dark colors for an angry storm or bright yellows and pinks for brighter happier moods. The girls then painted the top two thirds of the page right over the tape. A few got a so excited they painted the entire sheet, which was fine.\u00a0 I pointed out how the watercolors blended into each other unlike other kinds of paint.\u00a0 We drug our brushes through the colors watching them change and blend.\u00a0 That was about as far as we got on night one but we did accomplish requirement #3<\/strong>.\u00a0 This also gave our watercolors a chance to dry before we continued to the next steps.<\/p>\n

I kept the paint shirts and in the second meeting, \u00a0I brought in acrylic paints to use on the bottom third of their painting to look like the grass or dirt.\u00a0 One scout even made theirs look like a sandy beach. \u00a0I asked them to notice how the acrylic paint didn\u2019t blend and flow like the watercolors did.\u00a0 Since I wanted the background to dry before we moved on to the next step we set this paintings aside and spent the rest of our meeting letting the girls paint something they saw in the room.\u00a0 We counted this as a still life or a sister scout portrait for requirement #2<\/strong>.\u00a0 They could have spent the entire hour happily free painting.<\/p>\n

In the third meeting,\u00a0 I showed the girls how to remove the tape and reveal the clean unpainted white strips of tree trunks below then how to paint the trunks by using old business cards (requirement #4)<\/strong>. \u00a0They basically dipped the long edge in black paint and scrape it across the white trunks to look like birch bark.\u00a0 The technique is a little tricky so I let them practice on scrap paper. \u00a0One other tip I would give if you are doing the masking tape project is to buy blue painters tape for easy peeling.\u00a0 We had issues with the masking tape sticking after three weeks and tearing the paper.\u00a0 So this step took a little longer than expected.\u00a0 Luckily, I had several moms to help.<\/p>\n

For the mural requirement #5<\/strong>, \u00a0I did something a little different.\u00a0 Have you ever seen those videos where someone is explaining a point and doodle on a white board then erase and draw again to illustrate their points? \u00a0Well I did that as we happened to be working on the Water of Water Journey around that time.\u00a0 Except instead of me doodling I would let the girls answer questions and add something to our mural.\u00a0 For example I would paint a heart on the page and ask the girls what they loved about water.\u00a0 The first girl might say swimming so I would hand her a brush and say \u201cYes paint us a swimming pool\u201d.\u00a0 The second girl might say water balloons to which I would reply \u201cAwesome paint some water balloons\u201d and hand her a second brush. \u00a0I had to remind them to make something quick and only allowed 2 brushes at a time to keep us moving.\u00a0 But the method kept my girls interested as we talked through several parts of the journey. \u00a0\u00a0It would have been a great decoration for our Rededication Day too if I could have gotten it home to dry in one piece. OOPS!\u00a0 In hind sight, I wish I would have created it on 3-4 poster boards and just hung together to make a mural. Oh well lesson learned and requirement accomplished even if I couldn\u2019t reuse as a decoration later!<\/p>\n

For the last requirement also #1<\/strong>, \u00a0I invited a friend my husband met at art school to show us some of his creations.\u00a0 Hint\u2026 Hint\u2026 Local art school would be a great resource to find an artist for your troop in case you didn\u2019t marry one yourself.\u00a0 Oh and make sure you take lots of pictures so you can shower your artist with Thank You messages on their facebook or web page later. \u00a0\u00a0They really love that.<\/p>\n

My brownies loved the Painting Badge and I think yours will too.\u00a0 Good luck and most of all have fun with your brownies cause in a blink of an eye they will be bridging on to all new adventures!<\/h3>\n
