Sunflower Painting

We have had great success with our sunflower patch this year. Sophie and I picked a few to play with today. We inked up a leaf or two with the gel inkpad (I suspect you’d have better success with a felt pad, even one “inked” with liquid watercolors). Then we painted the flowers with our watercolors and pressed them- by far our favorite results. We’ve done something similar in the past with tempera. Always a fun result.

Flower Painting

The flowers made me think of this recent post on Zach Aboard, one our favorite boat/kid/blogs. So many good ideas . . .
