Now put your impressionism art project for kids in the rain (or use a spray bottle if there is no rain in the forecast). Leave it out just long enough to get the colors to blend – a matter of seconds will do. Now you have a beautiful rain art.

HINT: Don’t leave your artwork in the rain to long or the markers will run off the paper completely.

Bring paper inside and set on a paper towel to dry. Feel free to blot the picture if their is any marker running where you don’t want it to go and then allow the colors to absorb in the paper and dry to “set” the colors.
