I have a love for learning and a passion for teaching. For the last ten years I have taught in public, private, and home schools in some way or another. I currently write educational grants and conduct developmental screenings for children who may be at risk for school failure.

Over a decade of teaching has taught me that not all paints are as washable as they claim. A teacher I was aide to had this gem of an idea:
Add laundry detergent to the paint in the first place!
Its not exactly rocket science but it has saved me from many times as I am a very messy artist
- I use equal parts regular detergent , powdered paint , and water.
- If you have sensitive skin use Ivory Snow or similar baby detergent.
- Even if your paint says it is washable you may want to add some for extra protection.
- Add water if paint dries up or if you want a more water color like paint.
- I save creamer bottles to mix paint in and just shake till mixed.
