  1. Pre-mix your paint colours into a palette, remembering that aboriginal art consists of earthy colours that would have originally been made from natural pigments.
  2. Use a sponge to paint your canvas brown and allow to dry.
  3. Print off the template and draw around the turtle then paint the turtle black and let dry.
  4. On the background draw circles of different sizes lightly with a pencil.
  5. Using your cotton buds dip them into the colours and trace the circles filling your background with dots.
  6. Now mark out the turtle shell patten in pencil and design this using different colour dots to the background.
  7. Allow to dry and enjoy your aboriginal art piece.
