WATERCOLOR FLOWER GARDEN

Who doesn’t love an easy project?

This one Watercolor Flower Garden is as easy as you can get. All you need is a small sheet of watercolor paper, black waterproof marker, a white crayon and a few colors of liquid watercolor paint.

Step 1:

Children draw a series of flowers to make a garden. The flowers don’t have to be complex…just a few simple circles with petals is all you need. You can download a drawing guide that will generate ideas quickly or you can have each child create their garden from their imaginations.

Step 2:

After drawing with a black marker, outline each flower and the leaves with a white oil pastel or white crayon. This helps define the flower shapes even more.

If a child wishes to have an area of the art stay white, encourage him to color the area our shape with the white crayon.

Step 3:

Now for the fun part….dab, brush and dribble liquid watercolor paints over the entire drawing. No need to stay within the lines!

Here’s a video to show the process…
