Circles with watercolors
1. Paint the first circle with a color of your choice. Make sure you leave some space for two more circles.

3. Leave the first circle to dry before painting the next one. You can also use a hair dryer.
4. Now repeat the process with two more circles. Choose the colors so that they match each other.
