We collected lots of vibrant colours of late summer like poppy petals, dandelions, calendulas, blackberries, elderberries, green grass and a little dirt.
We used thick watercolour paper and used our hands to squish the plant materials into beautiful natural paints. We painted with our hands.
Such a sensory experience - the scents, the feel, and such bright colours!
Yellows, purples, greens, reds and browns.
What a lot of fun possibilities with this!
Such a calm and beautiful color palette.
ReplyDeletethere certainly are so many gorgeous colors to be found in nature! I think you may like my post on making our own watercolors with flowers : )
ReplyDeleteThis looks really fun! I think we might try it. There are several berries that are here that we don't use that would be great for this kind of thing.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by our blog too. It's always nice to meet new friends! Have a beautiful day!
