Learn the art of creating your own paints from items found in your kitchen! In this video, Adjoa Burrowes shows you how you can transform items like spices and food into paints you can use on paper. Once you see Adjoa’s painted papers, you’ll be asking, "What other colors can I create in my kitchen?”
