Liquid Water Colors

Liquid Water Colors are pretty much the most amazing art supply ever.  (Well in our opinion).  They are so fun and can be used in a ridiculous amount awesome of ways!  

Our suggestion is Colorations Liquid Water colors.  They are the best as far as pigments, color choices and they are super washable!  (NOT ALL BRANDS ARE SO BEWARE).  
We buy ours at Blick.com


Liquid water colors go on smooth.  Pour into muffin tin or divided palette.  A little goes a long way!
They blend nicely together and can be layered for lots of different shapes and designs.  Find the metallic ones and mix with colors for an iridescent look.  Shake a little glitter for extra sparkle!

Travel size hairspray bottles are super fun to use!  We fill them up and create beautiful light patterns on the canvas!  You can get them for about $1.29 at your local drug store!  We have several in the studio! 

 


Paint droppers are a huge hit!  The kids like to pretend they are scientists!  You can take it a step further by shaking SALT on your canvas before dropping the paint!

 

Tape a name, letter or design on paper before spraying!  Remove paint once completely dry!  TIP:  Don't over saturate paper when doing tape designs!

Another super fun project with Water Colors is to make an outline with black glue.  Make black glue by squeezing a generous amount of black ACRYLIC paint and shaking/mixing with a stick until its blended well.
Create the outline on the picture with black glue and let dry over night.  The fill in the shapes with your liquid water color! 
 

As always you can purchase these art supplies and more thru our special BLICK.COM link!  10% of every purchase thru this link goes back to our studio <3
