To paint with Lady Finger (Okra), select mature and firm ladyfingers to ensure clear, distinct and big imprints. Then, slice the end using a sharp knife, without any distortions. If you find any seeds along the edges, gently remove them to guarantee flawless impressions.
Sketching
Take a white paper or drawing sheet and roughly sketch the outline of some plants. Extend the stalk to make the floral impressions of lady finger on the top of it.
Mixing Paint
Next, prepare your color palette or tray by mixing the paint with a splash of little water. Guide your kid to dip the hexagonal edges of the lady finger into the paint mixture, ensuring sliced surface end is evenly coated. You can also use brush to apply paint on ladies finger slice edge.
Making Art Impressions
Guide your kid to press the colour coated lady finger slices onto a sheet, strategically placing them on the top of the plant edges to look like floral impressions. Experiment with different sized lady finger slices to different floral imprints, each dipped in a different hue, to create a divergent floral garden. Watch as the edges of the lady finger seamlessly blend into the artwork, adding a unique and organic touch to the painting.
