This strawberry daiquiri snow cone project is such a fun summer mixed media piece. Using an 8x10 canvas, acrylic paint, glass, and resin, you’ll create a colorful snow cone with a juicy orange slice and a dimensional glass topping that looks sparkly, icy, and delicious!

Step 1: Trace the Snow Cone Design

Start by placing your snow cone tracer on the 8x10 canvas. Slide transfer paper underneath the tracer and carefully trace the cone shape and the icy snow cone top. You do not need to trace the orange slice at this point because that will be positioned and painted later. Before moving on, lift one edge of the paper and check that your design transferred clearly.

Step 2: Paint the Background

Use white acrylic paint and Indian Turquoise to create a soft, blended background. Begin by painting one side of the canvas white around the snow cone shape. While the white paint is still wet, dip into a small amount of Indian Turquoise and blend it around the outside edge of the snow cone.

First, we will trace our snow cone onto the canvas. Tape your tracer to your canvas, place graphite paper underneath, and trace your snow cone with your stylus. 

Paint your snow cone base with white paint (we'll add a little more color later, just so it pops.) Then, we're painting the background with white and Indian Turquoise blue. 

Next, we're painting the actual snow cone with a couple different green colors. I'm using a light and a dark green. I'm also adding some Lemon Yellow. Using a smaller brush, blend the colors from the bottom to the top - dark to light. I'm also blotting in some white paint to lighten it up.
