If you are looking for a fun summer watercolor project for kids, you might like this idea…
I’m teaching a watercolor class at the Moravian 
Historical Society Summer Camp in Nazareth, PA for students ages 8 – 12. We are having a great time, and I plan to do a Facebook Live demo of the project this Wednesday, June 21, 2017, starting at 12:00 noon.
I may break the demo into two days – Wednesday and Thursday.
This 3-d watercolor painting is 5×7 inches, and fits in an 8×10-inch mat and frame.
The idea is based on an image from Pinterest and a lesson created by Gail Bartel at www.thatartistwoman.org. Her website contains tons of great ideas for art projects!
Here’s the supply list:
- Only 3 colors are needed: blue, yellow, and red. I use Winsor & Newton paints: Winsor Blue, Cadmium Yellow, and Quinacridone Red, but there are other less expensive options.
- Small brush – we used a Blick Scholastic Short Handle Red Sable Round #6
- Arches 140 lb. Cold Press watercolor paper, cut to 5×7-inch pieces – 2 pieces per student
- Table salt
- Black Sharpie marker
- Masking tape
- Optional mat and frame
- Solid cup or glass for water
- paper towels
- styrofoam plate to use as a palette
See you live this Wednesday, June 21!
