1. Dispense your paints onto a foam tray. 2. Dip one side of your tool into one color
and the other side into another color (fig. 1).
3. Begin bouncing the paint-filled tool onto your paper (fig. 2). Have fun—it’s bouncy!
4. Continue with more paint and more bouncing (fig. 3).
5. Let dry and admire your work, or cut it up to make a collage as shown.
Fig. 1: Dip into the paint. Fig. 2: Bounce on the color.
Fig. 3: Add more color.

• Try bouncing the brush on a black or colored sheet of paper. We used black paper for contrast.
• These paintings are beautiful as they are, or they can be cut up and used in the mixed-media Labs in this book.
Think First: This Lab will hopefully start you on an adventure of exploring non-artist materials. I have found that some common house- hold items make interesting paintbrush substitutes. This Lab uses my favorite—the foam bottle washer! Choose your paints and painting tool—use what you have on hand and what you learned about color mixing in “Lab 15.” Tip: All small children love to paint with sponges, so let the very youngest try this lesson. Help them dip the sponge into the paint until they get the hang of it.

1. Use the black marker to draw your house on the board (fig. 1). You may start with pencil if you wish, and then go over it with the marker.
2. Use oil pastels to add color to the house and yard (fig. 2).
3. Finish the painting with watercolor. The oil pastel will resist the watercolor, and the lines will stay intact.
Fig. 1: Draw the house.
• oil pastels • watercolor • brushes
• small wooden board (primed) or small canvas board • black permanent marker
Materials
Tip
Give the youngest child a pencil to use on the board and then the oil pastels. At the end, they can use a black oil pastel to trace shapes if they desire. Show them how to smudge with their fingers to blend the colors.

• Try painting your favorite friend’s house or maybe your relative’s house. These make great gifts!
• Maybe you are more interested in your backyard. Try painting that without your house!
Think First: Look at your house and sketch out a drawing, or snap a photo to work from. Working from memory is fine too! Think about how many windows and doors your house has. What does the yard look like? Ask yourself these questions.
