Colors of Neptune

Neptune is one of my personal favorites! Look at those colors!


To begin - we brainstormed what will happen when we mix oil with blue paint (liquid watercolor).  Then we added glitter for effect!   
We decided to use vegetable oil to create the affect of the translucent Gas Giant!
The paper plates turned out beautiful!  
Painting with oil is a mistake that I have made more than a few times.  It's actually a real bad idea.  Not only will it never dry (it is greasy forever so don't send it home!), it drips on other art (leaving greasy stains on everything on the drying rack), and will start to smell quickly.
