I found a link to this in a favorite blog and had to share it. Jove and I spent the afternoon painting after watching it and we also used permanent markers to draw and then filled in our drawings with watercolor paint. So much fun. I really, really want to paint more and be much, much better at it.
Mom, you're going to have to give me a lesson this summer.
