MILD: Expressive Art – A Splash of Watercolour.
I have always found watercolour painting beautiful. I enjoy watching the paint spread across the water that is put down first.
It can take some time to learn how to use watercolours correctly, until I learned a little trick that can give the same effect very easily.
Follow the instructions in the sway below.
Once you have completed the activity you can use it as a back ground to stick drawings or pictures on top of. Or you could write your name, quote or phrase on top too.
Remember to share your results with your teacher through seesaw or email. Have a great time with some felt tips and water.
