Paper Towel Painting 


STEP 1: Get your supplies ready


Before you get started making your paper towel art you need to get all your supplies ready. Choose a few colours that compliment each other and prepare your liquid watercolours. Place an old piece of cardstock across the area you will be working on to absorb any excess watercolour paint that may soak through your paper towels.

STEP 2: Paint on paper towels
