Paper Towel, Markers and 💦Water 🌈 Color Mixing ⚗️Experiment 🔬⚗️⚖️Science meets 🎨Art 101 🎥Series 🎇
12/01/2017
Today, we are exploring colors while creating patterns on a paper towel, and thereafter experimenting with water and color mixing, coming up with a new art piece, different than the original.
What you will need:
- paper towel (we are using Bounty),
- Sharpies (buy thin point here and thick here), markers and/or highlighters,
- droppers (we are using silicone bulb dropper from this set),
- water.

Did you notice that where children used Sharpies, the colors did not "bleed" or mix as much?

The water travels through paper diluting and mixing colors. This process is similar to our Capillary Action Science Experiment below, where I describe the process in details.
