Steps

Step 1

Lightly draw some circles on your paper in an interesting arrangement with Crayola® Classic Colored Pencils.
Step 2

Dip a cotton swab in water to dampen it. Be careful not to soak the cotton swab completely. Select a color of Crayola® Washable Watercolors, and rub the damp cotton swab in the paint. Using the drawn circles as a guide, dab the paint-covered cotton swab on the paper to create a series of colorful dots!
Step 3

Continue covering each drawn circle with bright Watercolor dots.
Step 4

Fill in the blank areas of the paper with even more dots to create vivid circles and swirls!
