Painting by kids

How boring is it to walk into a house which is decorated with the same boring sunset pictures and paintings? A fun way to redo one's house is by framing paintings that the kids make. While pastel painting and water painting are pretty conventional, a sort of abstract but beautiful paintings are marble paintings. A marble painting is done by filling a tub with water, pouring compatible colors of oil paint into it and then making the surface of the sheet of paper come into contact with the surface of the water. The impression made by the floating oil paint creates a beautiful juxtaposition of colors on the paper, which can later be framed and used at home.
