This painting kit from Ravensburger is an ideal tool for encouraging creativity in children eight and older and a fun way for adults to practice their watercolor skills before trying it free-form. The kit comes with three canvases, a double-ended paintbrush with two strengths, liquid ink, a painter's palette, and a pipette so you can get started right away.A fun way to help pique children's interest in the world while they explore their artistic sides, each canvas in the kit depicts a scene of a famous city. The three cities--New York, Paris, and London--show images of the cities' most famous landmarks: the Statue of Liberty, the Eiffel Tower, and Big Ben.

To make it easy for beginning painters, the included canvases are pre-printed with thin white wax outlines. The outlines act as guides for painters to fill in with colors of their choosing while preventing the colors from running. Once the design is completed, the wax becomes a clean white outline, giving your painting a neat, professional effect.

Although the images themselves are guided, the colors are up to the painter. Mix and match the liquid ink included to create colors and add your own personality to the paintings. For those who prefer a guide, there are color charts you can follow for mixing the ink. Whether given as a present for a favorite little cousin's birthday or for Mother's day, this kit is a fun, interactive gift for anyone interested in exploring their artistic side.
