Art Alternative to Screen Swiping

I went on a little adventure for a few weeks and looked through websites and printables on how to make paint dots swiped on paper turn into a birthday cake with candles, and houses, ghosts or cats. I did so many swipes on my phone trying to find something that would work for the classroom I am an assistant in for free art. I decided I was done swiping on my phone and needed to just start swiping paint on paper!

Some of my first tries were fun and quickly got muddy because I kept trying to fill all the holes. In the end I stayed with primary colors so that wouldn't happen. It ended up looking like a glorious sky, so I went with a silhouette card.

This was definitely worth sharing in a challenge, so I made one! Come and play along, add it to your member gallery with the keywork in the challenge and we'll be able to see it in our challenge gallery.
