THE REVEAL MOMENT RESIDENTS LOVE
Using simple sticker placement, participants paint freely and then peel away the stickers to reveal delicate lily-of-the-valley flowers underneath.  The reveal creates surprise, excitement, and a sense of accomplishment - even for residents who initially feel unsure about painting.
