Watercolor Paper 

Watercolor paper is best when you're using watercolor paint, but feel free to use what you have! Construction paper might be a good option for kids (just use less water so it's not runny) My favorite is this paper block!

Watercolor Paint

There are really so many watercolor paints to choose from! If you're painting with kids and want something cheap, your typical Crayola Watercolor Paints will work. If you're wanting something with some vibrant pigment, I recommend ECOLINE or WINSOR & NEWTON

Round Paint Brush

You can pretty much find a paint brush anywhere, and they're not all created equal! The more quality brushes will be a bit more costly, but if you're just painting for fun, grab a cheap one! Here's what I used! 

Directions

1. Paint three or four hearts so that the sides barely touch and the bottom points all face in towards each other.

2. Add a stem

3. Drop in more paint for fun dimension and watercolor effects

I hope you and your family have a Happy St. Patrick's Day! ☘️
