Experiment with Oil, Acrylic and Water Color

Purchase a set of oil, acrylic and water-based paints. Hunt around the house for various canvases: newsprint, printer paper or cardboard. Take turns brushing colors on each canvas, noting the differences in texture, and beauty. When the canvases dry, trace your handprints onto each, cut them out and mount them inside a shadow box or frame!
