All things Seuss

I made these for a younger sister when she started work on their Dr. Seuss inspired nursery. They are 12x12 canvases that I purchased from the local craft store. It is not needed, but certainly helpful, but in order to make copies of the characters, I used a small lighting board which allowed me to trace the characters. Another option is to use a small projector (can find inexpensive ones at craft stores) or if you own a projector, hook up your computer and project onto canvas or desired medium. 
 Cat in the Hat
 Green Eggs and Ham
 Thing One and Thing Two
Ultimately I completed seven of the paintings for their nursery. I decided to stick to characters that fit the basic color scheme of original Dr. Seuss' works. For the paints, I used only regular acrylic paints and outlined the characters with a Sharpie.
