In the famous fairy tale "Hansel and Gretel," the main characters, Hansel and Gretel, encounter a wicked witch who lives in a house made of sweets and treats. The witch disguises herself in order to lure the children into her home and then plans to eat them. This element of disguise adds suspense and danger to the story and serves as a cautionary tale for children to be cautious of strangers. The witch's disguise plays a significant role in the narrative. She initially appears as a friendly old woman who invites the hungry children into her enchanting house. By disguising herself, the witch gains the trust of Hansel and Gretel, making it easier for her to carry out her evil intentions.
For this technique, I used the Tim Holtz air blower tool. It made tiny cells where I used it. You have to work quickly with this technique because if you wait too long and the paint starts to set you will have lumps in your painting! After my painting dried I used the Color Pour paint markers to draw shapes around where I used the air blower tool so they would stand out more.
You can add skins to scrapbook layouts, to cover journals, add on top of another canvas for some added interest, cut up into stickers, or even put it through a die-cut machine this only works if the skin is very thin and it is helpful to have some nonstick paper on the side by the die.

However, Hansel and Gretel quickly realize the true intentions of the witch and must use their own wit to outsmart her.

For this technique, I used the Tim Holtz air blower tool. It made tiny cells where I used it.

After my painting dried I used the Color Pour paint markers to draw shapes around where I used the air blower tool so they would stand out more.
Using the heat gun on the Color Pour paintings allows the layers of paint to show through. In this painting, I heated up the paint both after I dumped it out of my cup, and after I had spread it across my canvas. The longer you heat it for, the more little cells will pop up. While the painting was still wet I added pink foil flakes onto the pink sections on my painting. I like adding the foil in just a few places on the painting so it does not become the focal point, but instead just accents a color.
I choose to start this painting off with a black background and use some orange and reds on top of it because I was in the Halloween spirit. The swipe technique is one of my favorite techniques for paint pouring because of all the cells it creates. It creates these cells even if you use the regular color pour paint but it is even more magical when using Color Pour Magic. After the painting dried I used gold paint markers to draw around some main shapes, and trying to make some of them look like ghosts! Boo!
Making a "skin" is by far my favorite paint pour technique because of the endless possibilities! You can add skins to scrapbook layouts, to cover journals, add on top of another canvas for some added interest, cut up into stickers, or even put it through a die-cut machine (this only works if the skin is very thin and it is helpful to have some nonstick paper on the side by the die). All you have to do to get started is set out some wax paper or a non-stick surface to pour directly onto. Then just let it dry before carefully peeling it off. You can see how I added the skin onto a journal on our blog post HERE.
Using this technique you can create a rainbow of color! Select which colors you want in your rainbow and lay them out across the canvas. Next, add a neutral color like grey, white, or black to scrape across all of the other colors.

Reviews for "From Captives to Conquerors: Hansel and Gretel's Epic Witch Disguise Plot"
1. John - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with "Hansel and Gretel: Witch Disguise." The writing was lacking depth and the storyline felt rushed. The characters were one-dimensional and I couldn't relate to any of them. The supposed "twists" were predictable and overall, it failed to capture my interest. I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone looking for a captivating and well-crafted film.
2. Sarah - 1 star - "Hansel and Gretel: Witch Disguise" was a complete waste of time. The acting was mediocre at best, and the dialogue felt forced and unnatural. The special effects were laughable and the costumes were poorly designed. The plot was convoluted and made no sense at times. I found myself wanting the movie to end as soon as possible. Save yourself the disappointment and skip this one.
3. Michael - 2 stars - I had high hopes for "Hansel and Gretel: Witch Disguise," but unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectations. The pacing was off, with certain scenes dragging on for far too long, while others felt rushed. The attempts at humor fell flat, and the movie lacked a cohesive tone. The CGI was poorly executed and took away from the overall viewing experience. I was left feeling underwhelmed and unsatisfied with this film.
