It’s been a collaborative summer all in all, and this little piece is a result of watercoloring with my almost 4-year old nephew Lyle. While on vacation in Maine, Lyle and I did a lot of watercoloring together, and what can I say, I just particularly like this piece.
Lyle’s contribution is the blue – he primarily works in blue – which I think is the most exciting part of the composition.
The biggest challenge was trying to drill home the idea that you want to wash your brush before switching to another color, unless you want mud. “I like mud!” he would defiantly proclaim. But I got him to come around after a while. The kid shows promise.
