Little painter

Mark has recently started taking drawing lessons. His teacher has shown him how to mix colors in order to get a bigger variety of colors, which made Mark very interested. A few days back I bought him a set of different acrylic colors to practice with mixing and painting. He tried them now and then when supervised, but I was on skype talk today when Mark decided to experiment with colors mixing again. I just told him to be careful with colors, and try not to touch anything around.

Mark was really into it and was concentrated and so quiet the whole time that when I finally came to check his paintings his hands were all dirty as well as all the things around him. But the worst was coming. I was still on skype call when I asked him to go upstairs to wash his hands. He did but then got back to me saying that colors were too sticky and he needed some help. I was on my to the bathroom when I looked at the walls. They were colored brown and black and red and green and not just slightly...

It took me almost an hour to clean the walls and as the color was fresh I have almost managed to give them their original look back. Almost... the only problem was in some particularly black-brown colored spots I was using a little bit more pressure and as a result we've now got some visible spots of bare plasterboard. I guess repainting the walls is gonna come a little sooner than we have originally planned. In the meanwhile lesson learned - do not leave a 3-year old painting unattended!
