Kids weekend art workshop

Got to try the new sets of Crayola Twistables Extreme Colors and True to Life crayons.
Setting an example for kid sister.
Enjoying the Blick Portable studio and the new crayons.
The Winsor Newton Arun Table Easel is just the right scale for budding artists to explore a variety of coloring media on the living room coffee table.
The Intus #8 pastel holder is also a handy tool for using pieces of Caran D'Ache Neocolor I crayons, for its clutch mechanism can be operated by small hands. While it allows the effective use of pieces too small to hold comfortably, it can also be used with whole crayons to prevent them from melting in warm hands during long drawing sessions.
Following elder sister's example and drawing with their new Crayola crayons.

Just a bit of Mermaid coloring page fun.
Since the weather was so nice, we took the watercolor session outside to the patio table. The chosen coloring media were the Faber-Castell Albrecht Durer aquarelle sticks that can be used either dry as regular crayons or as convenient watercolor pans.
Adult supervision is always required when allowing children to explore potentially messy media like watercolors, bucket of cleaning water, and brushes.
Aquarelle sticks' large size makes it really easy to pick up lots of juicy color with a 1/4" flat brush for colorful watercolor doodles.
After all these art fun activities, almost forgot to complete the homework due the following day. Might have been better to make sure all homework was done before starting the weekend art workshop.
The short natural wood 5.6 mm leadholder is a comfortable kid-sized writing and drawing tool.

Another New Crayola crayons set review: Adding some neon visual punch to any crayons collection

Picked a new set of coloring tools when I spotted them on sale at Target: Crayola Twistables extreme colors ultra-bright twistable crayons . These crayons are quite strong and crumble very little under pressure producing very bright fluorescent colored patches. This set of 8 is quite a convenient way of adding visual punch and excitement to any collection of coloring crayons. The entire color palette is displayed in the picture below along with a few coloring samples that combine also some True to Life twistable crayons and Caran D'Ache Neocolor I crayons. "Lemon Glacier" in particular pops out just like a fluorescent yellow highlighter, and it was used on the energy sword, fairy wing, and dragon breath.
Had to go with a digital photograph since the bright fluorescent colors were not picked up by my scanner. Recommended fun kit that would also be ideal for decorating greeting cards and enhancing signs.
