I followed the recipe given by Sandy Maudlin to do bubble painting in my young student class. It was 2 oz acrylic paint, 3 oz dish soap, and 6 oz water. Mix thoroughly. I had thought you’d need a big bowl to blow bubbles, but we had to use smaller ones, like Cool Whip containers, and they worked fine. Blow bubbles through a straw, and when they get over the top of the container, gently lay the watercolor paper over them. Use several colors.
Here are two projects our class did with the bubble paints. First we did a painting of a bear in a bathtub and bubbled over it. In the other painting, we bubbled the paper first, then decided on a painting to put over it. This one was of a butterfly.
PS: I DID warn them not to suck in…but one of them did. YUCK.
