Seeing, tracing, and painting from found objects through gentle, process-based art experiences. Watercolour Critters is a stand-alone, parent-facing creative resource for children aged approximately 4–9. It is designed to be used independently at home, with clear guidance that supports parents to facilitate the experience with confidence and ease.

The resource offers a slow, respectful approach to drawing and painting. Children begin by looking closely, tracing simple shapes from real objects, and gradually move into line, colour, and paint at their own pace.

No prior workshop or teaching experience is required. The activities are intentionally simple, flexible, and open-ended, allowing families to engage in the process in a way that feels natural and unhurried.

This is not a technique-based art lesson and not about producing finished artworks. It is about slowing down, noticing shapes and patterns, and allowing ideas to emerge through repeated looking, tracing, and painting.
