Wonderful Watercolour

Watercolour paints seem to go on...and on...and....on. Easy for the students to set up/clean up themselves. With my Yr 3 - 6 students I teach them a range of interesting watercolour techniques and encourage using a number of these in their chosen artwork.
Try wet-in-wet to have colours mix naturally together on the paper.
Dry-on-dry for fine details.
Paint sky colours and remove paint with ball of tissue to give a natural cloud effect.
Paint quickly with wet colour, sprinkle salt and let the reaction begin! Creates a really interesting speckled effect.
Dab wet paint with scrunched and flattened alfoil to create an interesting texture.
