Watercolor Art

Did you know that you can scan a picture into the computer, print* it out on a laser** printer then paint it? Yup, you sure can! We painted our pictures with watercolor paints.

Work in progress:



The finished results:



The finished projects look like they were done by professional painters! Excellent job ladies, we will definitely do this again! * print on card stock
**pictures MUST be printed on a laser printer - using an inkjet will cause the ink to bleed when it gets wet.

Wow this is a great idea. I might like to do this with my residents. Do you think there would be any benefit to getting watercolor paper, or did the regular paper work fine?
