I wanted to do a fun spring flower picture in one class time...but was not wanting to go "still life" or "Georgia O'Keeffe". I had the students work on wet on wet with the gouache. We discussed color mixing...and possible combinations to avoid. I allowed the students to blot their painted background with a tissue to remove excess water & to lighten up the over all feel. I then had them paint directly on top of the colorful background(they did not draw first..scary for some...other thought it was fun/exciting). I feel the results turned out wonderful...and it looks amazing in the hallway!! Really brightens things up!!!
Love the freedom.

DeleteI really love the colors in this! Along with the black outline of flowers. Think we are going to give this a try later this week.
