This watercolour resist art has your child draw with crayons on a piece of paper and then paint over it with watercolours. The crayons resist the paint and the pattern or drawing will pop up and it gives their picture a special effect that I like very much. Nearly as much as printing!
You can also be a bit sly and draw or write with a white crayon on to their paper before they start painting just to see their surprise! I will do that someday. I would probably write their name or “I love you”. Such fun!
You can use normal paper and crayons but I find that using watercolour paper and wax crayons gives the art a more dramatic effect. And I’m all about drama!
Colour onto the paper with the wax crayons. Then paint over with watercolours. Leave to dry and then watch crayon art pop up from the paper! Watercolour resist art (using watercolours)
