This document provides instructions for a watercolor painting workshop for kids. It discusses basic watercolor painting techniques and materials needed, including brushes, watercolor paints, water jars, and watercolor paper. It explains the steps of the painting process, emphasizing the importance of using separate water jars for washing brushes and mixing colors to avoid muddying the colors. Color theory fundamentals are also reviewed, such as primary/secondary colors and complementary colors. Students are assigned to practice with a toy model and send their work to the instructor for feedback and assessment.
