**Painted ATC**

The idea of this ATC is to create a mini painting of something;

• animal • person • object • place

Use any medium you want, as long as the majority of it is painted with something like; gesso, gouache, water colors, acrylic, even paint markers. I probably didn't mention all the available paints, but if it's paint, of course you can use it. ;-)

Also, you may make this a mixed media ATC, using anything you want, as long as finished art is still predominantly painted. Some of my favorites are; oil pastels, sharpie pens, and colored pencils. If you have a metal, fiber, or other embellishment that you want to use, that's great! Have fun and just make it beautiful.

Finished art must be on sturdy paper, should not bend easily. Non painted elements are acceptable to accentuate your art, as long as they aren't the majority of the piece.

Put the swap name, your name, year, and title of your piece on the back. Extra goodies (a personal note, paper crafting supplies, etc) are a nice bonus, but not required. Just make your art special, something you would be delighted to to receive.
