Paint Like M. F. Husain: Oil Pastel and Watercolor Transfer Drawings

Overview

In this joyful session, inspired by M. F. Husain’s bold lines and simple symbols, children use oil pastels to color the back of a printed image, then trace the front to transfer the drawing onto watercolor paper, like a little bit of printmaking magic.

They finish by adding watercolors to bring their transferred lines to life, leaving with bright, museum-inspired artworks to take home.
