Pastel & Watercolour Relief Print

 First Pastels

Oil pastels are so popular in China, it seems the kindergartens introduce them instead of/before crayons.

On The Imagination Tree this week, 100 Boredom Busters was featured http://theimaginationtree.com/2014/01/ultimate-play-activities-collection-rainy-day-fun-boredom-buster-activites.html 

Number #65 demonstrates the art of Relief Prints http://theimaginationtree.com/2012/03/tape-resist-art.html

We tried out our first pastels and threw in water colours to test how oil and water work together.

 Watercolour Tablets

Also popular in China, is charging more for bulk than singular items!

These water colour tablets were 1.5rmb each or 65rmb for 18 (???)

I Heart You

In honour of Valentines Day, I made a make-shift masking tape heart..and O went to town with her colour palettes and mixed media!
