Expressive arts group.... so much fun playing with colour...

experimenting... and loving it....



later I drew into the images...








Another Wednesday morning of discovering what can happen when we experiment with colour and additives: vinegar, oil, salt, alcohol, lemon juice on top of watercolour, then wandering in with lines to see what we can find.
