Detail of texture
what is water color paper? is it just paper w/ water color paint on it???
Watercolor paper comes in a variety of weights and holds water better than normal paper. It can be found in craft stores (or Department store’s craft area) near the Sketch Paper or Multimedia Paper.
Thanks for helping out, Anne!
I thank you Sally! I intend to do beatifull things!
It’s paper that’s Meant for water painting but you can use other paper
Watercolor paper is thicker, sturdier and more absorbent than regular paper. You can buy it at craft stores in pads. You could also experiment with light colored construction paper, cardstock and copy paper I think, though.
Is this the background for your artwork? Or the finished product? Nice effect!!
Yes! It makes amazing backgrounds!
How fun Sally, would enjoy seeing some of your final products! : )
found this on Pinterest and love it, thanks, CheyAnne

That’s a great question. We used liquid water colors. Hope this helps!
Love these ideas!
Does the type of rice make a difference?
Can’t wait to try this a part of a watercolor project with my group of special needs adults!
No! Any rice will work! Have fun and keep us updated!
Wow! This is fabulous!
Would it be okay to share this with my great grandson’s kindergarten teacher, I didn’t approve interesting for the kids to try.
My apologies, I meant to say the kids would find it an interesting and fun project to try
