Take a drawing paper and spread it on a newspaper. You must always spread newspaper while painting, so that the ground does not get stained with colour, and your parents do not have trouble cleaning the floor.

Keep some wax crayons, coloured pencils and water colours. Then choose a subject and start drawing. Once your drawing is ready, you can fill in as much colour as you like with the wax crayons.

Add pencil colours and put all the colours together. Then take a big brush, open your box of water colours, and use a colour which you have not used in painting with the brush. This colour will fill in all the white spaces of the paper which you may have left out while you were working with wax and pencils. Now let this dry; once the painting is dry, take a blunt blade and scrape on this painting. This will make some areas white and will have created texture on the painting. If you like what you have done, take an old comb and again scrape on it. This way you will get a linear texture.

Now hold the painting a little far from you and you will see that it looks very nice with all the designs you have scraped on the drawing.

If you want to make it look even more bright, you can take silver paper and stick it on the painting where you like - for example in the sky or on the ground.

A yet another way of doing something different is the leaf and flower collage. Take a piece of paper and draw a peacock with a pencil. Then collect different dry and green leaves and stick them with gum to the painting of the peacock to make them seem like feathers.

After this, take some dry bougainvillaea flowers and stick them around like a creeper. This will make it seems as if the peacock is standing in a garden. Let this dry for a day. The next day, you can take some poster colour and paint different colours on the peacock and around.

Try this. I am sure both these paintings will be very unusual and interesting.
