Freehand draw a large corn kernel. Cut out your kernel.

Trace your kernel, as many times as it will fit, onto a single sheet of paper. I like to use heavier paper for painting products. Watercolor paper always seems to hold up the best. Trace as many kernels as needed. ( I messed up the saying on the middle kernel; hence it being scratched out.)

Write the above phrase onto each corn kernel.

Clip your paper to an art easel, or place on table with something underneath to protect your table top. It’s time to paint those kernels!
