Hi Laura,

I’m sorry that happened to you! Let’s troubleshoot what may have caused your rose watercolor painting to run black. My guess is either that the black glue was not completely dry (even though you waited overnight), or you may have used a bit too much black acrylic paint mixed into the white glue. The most exciting thing about making black glue is that you only need a little bit of black acrylic paint. The glue will always appear black when it dries because white glue dries clear. My suggestion is to make another batch of black glue or add a bunch of white glue to the solution you already made and try it again. I promise it works!

I printed the template and put the black glue on and let it dry overnight. When I put watercolor on, black started running into the paint. Any ideas on what might be causing this? Thanks so much.

In reply to Sally Samuel. Okay, Sally, I have edited the post to include a link to a free rose template that you may use for personal use only. You may copy them for students to use, but they may not be distributed. Enjoy! :)

Oh! I didn’t realize you made it yourself. Nell, I would be deeply grateful if I could receive a copy – whenever you are able to. If it is easier, my email is sally.samuel@wbrl.ca. Thanks so very, very much!!

In reply to Sally Samuel. Hi Sally! So glad you like the project and the rose I used. Creating my own printable is on a very long list of to-dos. I will move it up in priority and do my best to get to it in the next day or two.

Hi there Nell!
This is a gorgeous project that I am interested in trying out with the kids in my Library programs. While there is lots of rose clip-art online, I really like the one you used. Do you have link to where you found it? Or know where the image can be downloaded? I would be so incredibly thankful if you could help!

Thanks so much for posting this,
Sally
