X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Learn all about an interesting painting te
 chnique with this STEAM activity\, which includes using a physical barrier
  of yarn to leave white space in our paintings of birch bark trees.</p>\n<
 p>This is a variation of using a white crayon to prevent watercolor paint 
 from covering part of your paper.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>The <span style="color: #

 me-resources/diyscience/crayon-resist-art/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"
  style="color: #1b4699\;">Lancaster Science Factory</a></span> has a great
  explanation for the why of wax watercolor resist art:</p>\n<p style="padd
 ing-left: 30px\;"><em>Would you think that the white crayon would be cover
 ed by the paint? Instead\, the crayon resists the paint and shows through 
 like a secret message! The reason is <strong>polarity</strong>. Water is a
  polar substance\, which means the molecule as an attractive force. Wax (w
 hich is what the crayon is made of) is a non-polar substance\, which means
  it&rsquo\;s molecules don&rsquo\;t have an attractive force. They&rsquo\;
 re spread out evenly throughout the substance.</em></p>\n<p style="text-al
