Watercolour afternoon
Paint the same simple subject side by side with basic watercolours, then compare how differently everyone sees it.
How to do it
- Set up a simple still life, such as fruit, a plant or a cup.
- Give everyone paper, a brush, water and a small paint set.
- Paint for 30 to 45 minutes, starting with light washes and adding detail last.
- Lay the paintings out together and share one thing you like in each.
