Thinning Paint

I decided to do a little exercise with the boys where we thinned paint with water so they could see how you could get a different "look" with just a little change to the paint. Ofcourse Wyatt loved it and Seth wasn't that interested (why do I feel the need to get him so interested in art when he clearly has no interest in it). First, we used full strength paint and painted a line on our paper, then we watered it down a little and painted another line, then we watered it down a little more and painted another line. After that I let the boys paint whatever they wanted.

Seth trying hard to stay interested; I've got to find something else that will interest in him that's artistic/crafty/fun

Wyatt wrote his name in yellow crayon and then painted over it
As you can see, Wyatt loves to paint (all of these except one are his)
