We had the most wonderful day in the garden two days ago. We took out seven canvases and I gave Isabella big tubes of paint and said go for it. What was interesting was that she wanted to be precise with her drawings and draw flowers etc. So to get her out of her comfort zone I told her to just splodge and make shapes and try different techniques with the different brushes. She found this very hard at first because children are always being told to be neat and stay in the lines etc. However when she realised she could do whatever, it really started working. She realised nothing was wrong and she could do anything.
They look like they are amazing pieces of modern art.
