UV- installations on a window. The participants draw on a window/windows with fluorescent colored, water based chalk markers which are then illuminated with UV-lights. The installation can be left to public display as long as desired and the washed away with water. The installation must be made indoors, the markers will dilute with rain if on the outside. The guiding artist shows different techniques to draw, controls the work with different themes and can also add his own artwork on the window if needed. The markers are toxic free and can be washed away from clothes and floor.
