What did you notice?
- I can see yellow.
- You see colors.
But look, we can't get messy 'cause they're not watered yet.
Water colors, they need water to make them work.
And the paint are dry.
So we need to wake up the color of the making water.
We have to get the paint brush to put the water.
- Exactly, good idea.
So now I'm going to leave the paintbrush on the water.
Did you hear the sound?
And now I need to wake up the colors.
I'm going to drop some on the paint.
Wiggly, wiggly.
Can I add more?
- Yeah.
[upbeat music] - I think I'm ready for blue.
Should I put some in the paper?
- Yeah.
- Let's try it.
- Wow.

The water make the colors light there.
Wow.
Can I put more?
- Yeah.

Look, it's getting lighter and lighter.
- Lighter and lighter.
- So if the water make it lighter, I wonder how I can make a dark blue.
- Like lots of lots of blue.
- Make it dark.
- That's a good idea.
Put more blue and less water, right?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- So I'm going to just wiggly, wiggly.
You were right.
Look how dark it is.
Wow.
So the water makes the colors lighter.
Do you think that I can keep painting?
Can I keep without adding paint or water?
- Yeah.
- Look what is happening.
[upbeat music] This is called dry brush.
Look it keep painting.
Now I'm going to rinse my brush and we were trying to paint on the dry paper.
- Yes.
- Can we paint on wet paper?
- No.
- No?
- Yes.
- Yes.
Thank you.
I'm going to paint just with water and see what happened.
I'm going to lot of water and now I'm going to add paint on top of the white paint pen.
Let's see what happens.
Are you ready?
- Yeah.
- Look.
How is this craving?
Now let me raise the paintbrush because now I want to mix some color.
Can I mix some colors?
- Yes.

- Wake up, wake up yellow.
Wake up, wake up.

Me too.
Should we add more water to make it like it?

Let's add more water then.

I think it's your turn.
Do you want to make your own cold water color?
