Art Project - Day 1

I recently watched a video of my nephew painting on canvas that reminded me that I had purchased some for Kingston to paint and never did it (whoops!).  So this morning while Charlotte napped, Kingston and I decided to start a multi-step art project that will hopefully hang somewhere in our livingroom when it's complete (Daddy is fighting to put it in his office...we'll see!).

The reason I want to do this project over a few days is because Kingston LOVES to mix colours.  LOVES it.  However... my kindergarten teacher taught me that all those beautiful colours mixed together = brown.  and I don't particularily want a brown painting.  So we are going to do layers of paint in colours that mix well.  Today we used purple, red and blue.  I think our next layer will be orange, yellow, and red.  Sometimes I have to remind myself who I'm actually doing this projects for.. M and I have just as much fun as Kingston!

Our project at the end of Day 1.
