Yesterday Free-Flow were busy painting and practising cleaning their brushes along the way!
They liked to mix their colours, but learning to clean their brushes before each dip of new paint meant they could just mix the colours on the paper instead if they chose to add them to each other to create a new shade.
This proved much more satisfying as our children could explore the multitude of colours separately and this was much more exciting than the usual shade of brown that often arises when colours are mixed together on a palette.
The skill of rinsing the brush inbetween different strokes of paint led to greater choices being made, and much more satisfying results being achieved, as their masterpieces began to emerge…..
