About
Create a painting using just your fingertips and watercolor crayons!
Relive your childhood by fingerpainting a masterpiece! All you need is some watercolor or mixed media paper, watercolor crayons and water to begin your fingerpainting.
You can either make your painting an abstract or plan out where each color should go so they form a picture. For this project I chose a basic landscape of a sun setting over water and used the crayons to color in the different areas.
Keeping the crayon loose I scribbled some basic lines and then using just my fingertips dipped in water to gently mix the colors together.
