Painted World · $18
  • Format Digital download, printed at home
  • Inside 15 prompt cards, a grown-up guide and journal pages

Seven artists who learned by looking closely at nature invite your family outside. Paint one tree as the light changes, look so close at a petal that it fills the page, and make art the wind can finish.

A taste of the cards

  • One Place, Many LightsMonet painted the same stacks of wheat again and again, at sunset, in summer and in snow. Choose one tree or window. Paint it in the morning and again before supper. What changed?
  • A Mountain Inside a WaveIn this print, Mount Fuji looks tiny inside a huge curling wave. Find something big and something small that you can see at the same time. Paint the small thing large.
  • Paint the WindVan Gogh painted wheat and cypress trees right where they grew, on a windy summer day. Watch grass or branches move. Can your brushstrokes move too?

What you print
