Steps

  • Step 1

    Lightly draw some circles on your paper in an interesting arrangement with Crayola® Classic Coloured Pencils.

  • Step 2

    Dip a cotton bud in water to dampen it. Be careful not to soak the cotton bud completely. Select a colour of Crayola® Washable Watercolours, and rub the damp cotton swab in the paint. Using the drawn circles as a guide, dab the paint-covered cotton swab on the paper to create a series of colourful dots!

  • Step 3

    Continue covering each drawn circle with bright Watercolour dots.

  • Step 4

    Fill in the blank areas of the paper with even more dots to create vivid circles and swirls!
