Aquarellum are really fabulous painting sets from French arts and crafts brand Sentosphere that really do allow children to create art masterpieces that deserve a place on the bedroom or playroom wall every time. The Aquarellum Junior Birds of Paradise set comes with four paintings to complete each measuring 18 by 25cms. Far superior to the typical paint by numbers for kids, each art board has a pre-printed picture of a different exotic bird with the faint outline created with a wax mask on top of high quality watercolour vellum paper. It works like this - the wax acts as a barrier when children are painting making their artwork neat while the vellum paper soaks up the liquid paint making the vivid colours seem to appear as if by magic. The liquid paint can be applied repeatedly to the area in question until the results are just perfect. Aquarellum educates children how to achieve the required colours via a colour mixing chart and is a great way for kids to learn about colour composition. It is also a great way to learn the names of colours in several European languages too! Each of these childrens painting sets comes with high quality liquid watercolour paints (these are non-toxic and washable), a dropper, a pallete for mixing colours and a quality paintbrush. Full instructions in English are included. A fabulous gift for any creative child, these Aquarellum paintings really will be good enough to frame making them a nice way to accessorise a room too! Suitable for children from ages 6 years up. Box size: 20 by 27 by 3cm.
