About this lesson
A museum at-home studio activity that recreates Frankenthaler's soak-stain method with strong tea, coffee and homemade plant dyes brushed and puddled onto flat paper. It covers brewing and slow-cooking the colorants, layering the stains for depth, and letting the liquid spread unpredictably.
