Wet on wet watercolour

I’ve been admiring the gorgeous wet on wet watercolour paintings I’ve seen on many Waldorf inspired blogs lately. After watching a video on how to do it via a link shared on The Magic Onions, we gave it a go.

Master D thought it was quite amusing to put paper in the bath for a soak while we set up our paint 🙂

But he loved swirling the colours around and mixing them up – leading to new colours.

There was something quite calming about painting this way.

And, as I’m starting to do with each activity, I gave it a go too.

I think we could easily end up with walls full of these gorgeous paintings if I don’t restrain myself!

Resist painting

Last week we had lots of rain and storms. We had great big hail stones pound down – Master D and his daddy ran outside to collect them 🙂 Then during the night we had some fantastic lightning so husband and I opened up the curtains during the storm and watched the show.

So because of the rain we were busy doing arts and crafts inside. My favourite of the week was resist painting.

We used proper box canvases and good acrylic paint. For one I put a masking tape ‘D’ on the canvas and for the other Master D put tape randomly about. Then he got painting. Little Miss Q loved watching 🙂

This is before taking the tape off:

And the end result! I love how the ‘D’ turned out!!

Warm wishes, Kelly
