Equipment

Supplies

  • White Paper Heavy Drawing Paper, Watercolor Paper or Tagboard will work
  • Tempera Cakes
  • Oil Pastels

Instructions

  • Divide paper into six squares. You can fold the paper, measure or create a guide to help you sketch the lines with a pencil.
  • Use any colored oil pastels to draw 6 larges circular shapes inside the squares.
  • Continue working with oil pastels to create as many rings inside of each other.
  • Add paint to the white areas. You can brush right over where you put oil pastels.

Notes

  • You can do this technique with any colors or subject matter. Have fun and experiment with this process!
  • Children can color some of the rings or all of them if you do not want to paint.
  • For children, rubber cement, painter's tape, Glue-All, crayons, and oil pastels can all be used to resist the paint from sticking to the surface of your paper.
