Watercolor Technique

Art 2's Watercolor Techniques 

For our second quarter project the Art 2's are working on a watercolor landscape.  In order to prepare the students to use this new material the students practicing using the watercolors 8 different ways.

We began by looking at the Crayola website that describes the different ways/techniques for using watercolor paints.  If you want to take a look at the website the link is listed below.

The Techniques Practiced Are:

Wash of Color
Overlay
Wet vs. Dry
Salt Sprinkles
Plastic Wrap
Crayon Resist
Color Pencil Resist

The students had a great time experimenting and practicing with this new material.

Below are some of the student examples of working with different watercolor techniques.
