Water Soluble Felt-Tips With Complementary Colours
By Zoe Coughlan
In this resource Zoe Coughlan shows us how she uses water soluble felt tips and watercolour to explore complementary colours with her class. This activity will help students understand colour mixing, and warm and cold colours, whilst also developing their observational drawing skills. This activity was run with a Year 8 class (ages 12-13) but can be used with students across Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 3 and will cover a 60 minute lesson.

Hi Abbie, test the pens you already have as many will be water soluble. Many of the cheaper handwriting pens will “bleed” in a very satisfying way!
