Optional: Pencil
Supplies
Bottled Glue
Heavy Paper
Tagboard or Canvas Board
Instructions
Come up with design and sketch it out if neccessary. Use glue bottle to draw image.
Let glue completely dry.
Once glue is dry, use watercolor paints to add to your painting. Colors next to each other on the color wheel will mix well.
Let painting dry and enjoy.
Notes
Beginners and children may have more luck
lightly touching the paper with the glue bottle tip
as they draw.
Encourage children to
draw pretty quickly
to avoid getting a globby mess.
Make sure that the glue bottle is
not clogged and works well
.
Fuller glue bottles
will help your artists get more of a continous line.
You could use a fine tip black marker to add extra details and designs to the project.
