How to create a kaleidoscope masterpiece




Okay so earlier today I was trying to paint a picture of a wave and it was super frustrating because I always find I can never put the image in my head onto the page. To make something really detailed, you need to put in so much concentration and it takes forever. I’m never patient enough to wait for the paint to dry and always end up ruining it.



BUT! I found this website called http://weavesilk.com and it is the most satisfying thing ever. Literally any way you move the mouse you are the next Picasso. It’s so relaxing and mesmerising, so wow.
 It's just like a kaleidoscope, you can never get the same thing twice, but it always looks beautiful. 


And I reckon I found the real life equivalent. 

This lady dipped snails into water and dropped in a bit of food coloring and put the snails on paper and they squiggled around likeVincent VAN escarGOGH (Pls laugh). 

I also tried this website (<- click) which translates the time into a hex colour code, so it changes shade every second, it’s also pretty calming.
