Testing Crayola Washable Markers for Use As Watercolors

Today I took my son school shopping and bought a 50 pack of Crayola Washable Markers for myself. So I thought I'd give them a try as watercolors! This is the result! Enjoy!

I was wondering if should buy some Crayola Supertips and this totally convinced me. That looks só good. Thanks Katie, for posting this! And also, I will definitely try to draw some roses someday... you make it look really easy.

The method I use is I draw on like an old yogurt lid with the marker then dip my wet paint brush and then paint, it works pretty cool

What a great new techique to try. I am always looking for new stuff (to keep from getting bored) Thanks!

I'm about to buy a 10 set of these at Kroger. $4! Hope I like them. They're fine tip. Thing is I can't stand working with pan watercolors. Love Crayola watercolor pencils so getting the markers seems like a good move.

Hey Katie I tried it on some cardstock and the results were really cool. Ended up making a birthday card using the technique and they really liked it! Thanks!!
