Girl Painting at an Easel

At a wooden easel, a girl in a paint smock holds a brush and palette as she dabs color onto a canvas showing a simple sun and house. A jar of brushes and a tube of paint sit on a stool beside her, ready for the next stroke. This page is a treat for young artists, with the easel and figure easy for small hands and the palette, canvas, and brushes inviting careful, colorful detail. There is a clever trick to discover here: mixing red and yellow makes orange, while blue and yellow make green, so the palette is the perfect place to experiment. Talk about what the girl might paint next as you go, or which colors she should mix together first. Print this bright art-studio page on US Letter or A4 and fill her little canvas — and her whole palette — with every color you love.
