    Quick Wins

    Using washable, water-based, non-toxic kids paint can quickly transform a hard surface like a car park or footpath into a temporary work of art. It can help to show what some more permanent art or placemaking could do to a space.

    Ingredients:

    • A surface that needs some colour
    • Washable, water-based, non-toxic kids paint
    • Paint brushes and/or rollers
    • Disposable coffee cups and/or roller trays (both is best)
    • Cloth tape

    Method:

    1. Mark out a geometric pattern on the surface using the cloth tape.
    2. Allocate paint to helpers using coffee cups or roller trays.
    3. They can spread paint within the taped area.
    4. Once the pain is dry, remove the cloth tape to reveal the final design. The paint will wash away with rain or a hose.
