\"Five<\/figure>\n

Beginner canvas ideas fail when they are really intermediate ideas with the word easy in the title. A first canvas needs a background, one subject, and a place to stop. These five are that, and nothing more.<\/p>\n

Sunset, tree, flower<\/h2>\n

The sunset is bands of colour. The tree is a trunk and a dabbed crown. The flower is a centre and petals. Full theme notes are in the two-hour themes guide. If you only teach one of them, teach the sunset. It is the hardest to ruin.<\/p>\n

Wave<\/h2>\n

A blue lower half, a lighter blue curl, and a white line along the top of the curl. The sky is the upper half in a pale colour. One wave, not a seascape. This pairs well with the summer guide.<\/p>\n

Leaf<\/h2>\n

One leaf, one vein, a plain background. Change the colour for the season. It is the smallest idea on the list and a good warm-up before a sunflower or a pumpkin.<\/p>\n

Use acrylics so the painting can go home the same night. Oils stay wet too long for a party.<\/p>\n
