I spent from 12:30 to 8:30 tonight ( with a break for dinner) at the Local Recreation Centre with the youth of Faro making watercolour Christmas Cards.  I love watching children paint.  They are very spontaneous and don't think about making mistakes. It was amazing all the different cards they made.  We used transparent yellow, rose, and pthalo blue and had angels and reindeer and  Spruce trees.   We sprinkled salt on the wet paint to make snow and stars

I loved working with the watercolour again.  I was exclusively a watercolourist for years.

There is watercolour in the above painting and it didn't take very long.  Needless to say it has been a very long day!
