We did more experimenting mixing paints.
Ann asked us to choose one colour and mix it with each of the other colours in our box to see what colours we would make.
Then we had to see if we could mix up any different colours ourselves starting with the same colour again.
We also used the colour picker again to choose more colours from our photographs for our natural colours paintbox.We just have three more to do. Click on our paintbox to zoom in.
