Play and experiment with watercolors and see what they do! Participants will get to explore how watercolors work and feel using a variety of brushes and different quantities of water. They will also get to see how watercolors mix with other materials, such as salt and ink. At the end participants will try out painting their own picture either from life or imagination!

All materials are included.
