The Art teacher was working with us on Friday and showed us some nice techniques for watercolour.  We had to remember background, middleground and foreground.  The background was lighter colours, using a colour wash.  The foreground is supposed to be stronger colour – we did this later with paint when the background was dry.  We are hoping to use these techniques to do some art work in the style of Shaun Tan.  We will post some pictures up soon of these!
