More watercolors!


I have a quick post today to make up for rambling so much last time. :)

I made a quote painting with watercolors and a white crayon. 

How to:

On a piece of watercolor paper, use a crayon to write out a quote (or you could draw something as well). The thicker your lines the better. I picked a quote that was too long and didn't press down hard enough with my crayon. Aaron still loved the idea and made one for himself. He learned from my mistake and chose a short quote. 

Paint over the page as you desire. I recommend using the tips I used in my last post about watercolors (with the cardboard and tape and whatnot. But it's up to you.) The paint won't cover the crayon markings! If you do several layers it might start to cover it a little, but you can still read it.

That's it! Short, sweet, and to the point. Although I would like to add I love it when Aaron does arts and crafts with me. :)

Have a wonderful Tuesday! :)
