Painting Collection: Babe’s Safari

Completed

Recently, I painted four individual safari animals for my grandson’s new bedroom. Afterward, I had an idea to include my grandson in one painting, sitting along side his new safari friends.

When beginning a painting I use an inspirational photo to guide my project. Sometimes, I use a digital photo to help refine my vision, and for this, I rely on the Procreate app. It’s a great tool that allows me to combine my artwork with digital photos. I can upload images of my paintings, then manipulate and arrange them within the app to find the best perspective and composition for each piece. It’s an essential part of my creative process. Then I transfer the idea onto my canvas and paint!

Nursery Paintings Cont

I love looking for painting projects to do. Often to try to enhance my skills as an artist. But recently I found out  that I’m going to have another grand baby. Yay! Such an exciting time to have another baby around. Which is why I decided to do these cute paintings.

They are simple, fun, fast and fantastic to create for any occasion. 

  

Adorable DIY Safari Animal Art for Your Baby’s Room

Getting ready for a baby can be both exciting and overwhelming—especially when it comes to decorating the nursery. If you’re looking for a fun and relaxing project that adds a personal touch, this DIY safari animal artwork is a perfect way to de-stress and bring some cuteness into your baby’s space!

Easy DIY Safari Animal Art

These charming baby safari animals are surprisingly simple to create. Even if you’re not confident in your drawing skills, don’t worry—you can use a cute cartoon template to trace your design. Here’s how:

1. Trace Your Design: Use carbon tracing paper to transfer a template onto a canvas. This saves time and ensures a polished look.
2. Paint with Soft Colors: Use acrylic paint thinned with a bit of water to achieve soft, pastel hues. This keeps the artwork light and soothing—perfect for a nursery.
3. Outline for Definition: Once your painting is dry, use a fine-tip black marker to outline your design, adding detail and depth.

And just like that—voilà! You have an adorable, hand-painted piece of art that ties your baby’s nursery theme together.
