Families looking for fun, free and creative boredom busters during isolation – be inspired and learn to paint with Cardiff-based artist Rosie Moriarty Simmonds, a member of the Mouth and Foot Painting Artists – artists who paint only with their mouth and feet due to physical disability.
Get hands-on (or feet-on!) with her cute and colourful ‘Rainbow Hedgehog’ design – sure to banish any ‘prickly’ family feuds with artistic fun. Ideal for little ones, Rosie has created a handy design outline to help them get started. For this design, the more colours the better! Don’t worry if you don’t have a paint set at home, as MFPA stocks them in its online shop.

The tutorial is part of a new ‘Learn To Paint’ series from the Mouth & Foot Painting Artists, an organisation that supports disabled artists, which hopes to inspire people during lockdown.
