Water Pistol painting sooo much fun! Read on to find out a way to create some wall-worthy artwork while having a GREAT time with all ages!
Let’s get started.
Materials:
- Poster paint
- Water
- Water pistols (one for each colour)
- A large canvas
3 Easy Steps:
1: One colour per pistol
Set it up so you have one water pistol for each colour of paint that you would like to use. **HINT: limit the colours used so the colours don’t merge together and you end up with everything being brown!
2: Getting the pistols ready
Water down your paint colours and pour one colour into each water pistol. If using poster paints, use 50% paint and 50 % water so that the paint is easy to squirt but still bright. If using liquid watercolour paint don’t water it down too much, but make sure it is thin enough to squirt through the nozzle!
3: Water gun painting on canvas
Once your water pistols are full of paint take them outside, prop up a large canvas and get squirting! HINT: Practice close and long-range shots for different effects!
Alternative:
Use fabric paint and t-shirts to do some water pistol t-shirts (Fireflies and Mudpies)!
