Encourage them to draw with pencil, then when they're satisfied, trace the lines with a crayon. This will create a barrier for the watercolor. Provide your students with watercolors and invite them to fill in the 'shapes'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll of your students have worked with watercolors before, but sprinkling a bit of salt on the paint when it is still wet creates a fun texture. After the print has dried, the salt can be brushed off or left as texture. A fun way to spice up your 'vanilla' supplies!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca target=\"blank\" href=\"http:\/\/artprojectsforkids.org\/chagall-inspired-watercolor\/\" data-ad-id=\"post-content-link\"\u003eArt Projects for Kids: Watercolor and Salt Painting\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SupplyMe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":1734080430105,"sku":"A2013","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.supplyme.com\/products\/adding-salt-to-your-watercolor-prints-a2013","provider":"SupplyMe","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
