Bunny Eyes 🐰

If you’ve been itching to create something playful and springy, the Bunny Eyes project might be just what your creative heart needs! This 8x10 canvas artwork combines simple painting, seed beads, and the cutest sticker glasses – all finished off with resin.

Grab your tracer, tape it to your canvas, place graphite paper underneath, and trace your bunny with a stylus. Leave off the eyes and mouth for now. 

Load up your plate with white and just a touch of gray paint (I used Slate Gray, but you can mix white and black too). Start painting your bunny! White can be tricky on white canvas, so the gray helps define shapes like the ears and face. Use an angled brush and blend in tiny hints of gray for shading and movement.

Next, use shades like Poodleskirt Pink, Dragonfruit Pink, and white to paint the inside of the ears and nose. Blend lighter toward the center and darker on the outer edges for a little dimension. Paint the nose with Poodleskirt Pink, adding white to the top and Dragonfruit Pink to the bottom. Dry with a heat tool.

Once the paint is dry and you’ve settled on which glasses you'd like to use (I'm using round!), lightly mark where the eyes should go. Paint two black circles, then add a pop of white for the highlight. Next, use a graphic pen to add lashes, brows, and a smile – short strokes keep it fun and light.

Next, paint a purple background using Wisteria and Purple Rain paint. Use a large brush and blend your colors for a messy, textured finish. Dry with a heat tool.

Now, it’s time to pop on those adorable round glasses. They're dimensional sticker glasses from Hobby Lobby (look in the scrapbooking section!). Make sure they’re centered and secure – you’ll resin over them shortly.

Next, we're going to elevate our canvas using blocks. Put on rubber gloves. Mix 1/2 oz total of ArtResin and stir gently for three minutes. Pour the resin onto your canvas and use your gloved fingers or brush to spread it over the entire piece.

Use a heat gun to pop your bubbles. Keep your heat moving at all times! 

Add pink seed beads to the inner ears, nose, and a few places around the canvas for sparkle.
