We spent most of today outside in the 60 some degree weather. We walked to the library to look for some books on Miro’. On the way we found some other interesting things.

We looked through some of our books and used cray-pas to draw some creatures and oddities and then painted over them and inside the spaces with watercolors. Hint-using watercolors with paper made specifically for watercolors, makes all the difference. Also, you can use oil pastels or even crayons and get the same results.

I love to spend time at the library flipping through books looking for ideas. I will try to link to a few good ones tomorrow-I have a sleeping 3 3/4 year old sprawled over me at the moment.
