Here's an Art Attack trick to help you get vibrant colours from chalk pastels. You will need: Chalk pastels Water Paper

Here are some ordinary chalk pastels.

They're not the sort of art material you'd think of using for bright, vibrant colours. Instead, they're great for producing a soft, delicate look to a picture.

But, if you soak a chalk pastel in a beaker of water for a couple of minutes, then dry it off using a paper towel...

...when you use it, the colour will be really bright and vivid!

Don't leave the chalk pastels immersed in water for too long, though - or they'll go all soft and mushy! Try it yourself!
