Watercolors

We finished our nature material animals and started learning about watercolors today!  The animals turned out to look great and each student even wrote a story in their sketchbook to go along with their animals.  When the animals were finished, we moved on to watercolors.  We looked at a lot of images and talked about different watercolor techniques, such as washes, wet on wet, dry brush, and glazing.  We also discussed color-mixing with watercolors.  Each student then practiced watercolor techniques in  their sketchbooks.  It was fun trying to mix a lot of colors and being able to play with paint!
