Watercolor

Our family strives to keep a strong rhythm to our days and in our home, Wednesdays are our art day. 

For us, that usually translates to watercolor painting.

Throughout the week, we have our fair share of crayons and stickers, glue and pipe cleaners, but Wednesdays are intentionally special and the reverence for the art we create then is tangible.

We light candles, tell a story and then let our imagination take hold.

Watercolor is special in that when you use the correct paper and paint, the colors just blend and flow so the artist can truly play and get to know that specific color they are working with.

No matter what you create, it simply looks beautiful.

Even the rag we save for painting ends up looking pretty.

We use Stockmar paint concentrate, only needing the 3 primary colors.

These little jars last forever because they are added to water. 

Also, with having a three year old, we generally only work with one color (maybe two) at a time.

It is a bit pricey but all worth your money.
