Discover the magic of watercolor pencils with Watercolor Canvas Art – Through the Seasons.  Use 5 colors of Art GRIP Watercolor Pencils to draw on 4 miniature canvases pre-printed with season-themed designs.  Then turn your drawings into watercolor art by adding water with the included paintbrush.  You can mount your pieces on black foam and hang with a black satin ribbon.  The instruction booklet teaches assorted watercolor techniques to obtain a variety of effects on the canvas.  

Customize 6 miniature vases with Colorful Ceramic Art Vases – the vases are about 2” tall and in assorted shapes.  Draw vibrant designs in any style you like on the vases using 5 colors of Art GRIP Color Pencils.  These pencils blend easily, so experiment with them to create various effects.  If you like, use a cloth to get an antiqued burnish look on a vase.  Accent the designs with a black Multi-mark pen with a superfine nib.  Display flowers in the vases around your house, or these are delightful to give as a gift.

Colorful Ceramic Tile Art lets you create an amazing mosaic piece.  Color in designs on the miniature tiles with 5 colors of Art GRIP Color Pencils.  Use the black Multi-mark pen with a superfine nib to draw outlines, patterns, and to add accents.  The instructions cover various techniques such a decoupage and color blending to create different effects on the tiles.  Glue the tiles into the 6 ¼” square wooden tray, then display on a table in your house.
