WATER COLOR PAINTING


MATERIALS NEEDED
 A water color box with eight colors
 Pan of water
 Brush (not too tiny we hope)
 A good size paint rag
 Several sheets of 9 x 12 inch or iz x 18 inch white or manila
 paper
* Transparent water colors may be started in about the fourth
grade. At first let each child try out the colors and learn to care for
the materials. Handle the brush carefully, dip it in water, then strike
it gently against a cake of paint. Try the color on the paper making
a stroke all the way across. Do not go back over it but leave any
white spaces of the paper that show through.

* Next clean the brush by wiping it carefully with the paint rag.
That way your brush is clean and the water is kept from getting
dirty. Clean water makes for clean colors.
