Painting with Watercolors for Beginners Before I started writing this post, I decided to conduct some online research on painting with watercolors for beginners. That way, I reasoned, I wouldn’t gloss over any points, and I could craft an altogether better post. And … holy moly. I use watercolors all the time, and the information I found on Google overwhelmed me. Supplies First, I want to create a supply list for you. The set I have and prefer is from Greenleaf & Blueberry. Whatever set you decide on, the first thing you should do upon receiving your watercolors is create a color chart. Next, it’s time to think about brushes. Brushes will vary by artist; since I’m writing about my personal watercolor painting style, I’ll go over the brushes I keep in my artillery. *For some reason, I can’t find links for these brushes; but I purchased all of the brushes listed above at the local Michael’s store. Paper is also important. Any vessel will work for the water; I use an old mug. Paint Opacity 1. 2. Blending 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 1. 2. 3.
Students Get Into Their Monet Paintings! We are standing on the bridge of our own paintings! Claude Monet and the Impressionists are my very favorite and I really enjoy sharing that love with my students. This project is a special one. We end up having two works of art when we are finished! After learning a bit about Monet's life we use acrylic paint to create a painting inspired by one of his Japanese Bridge paintings. Except for part of the water, students use qtips to give the painting that quick Impressionistic feel. This took a couple class periods. This helped me remove the background using Keynote's Alpha tool. In one of my buildings, we wrapped up this fun project by creating a tissue paper water lilly to put up with our paintings. It put a smile on my face listening to the reaction of the other students as they came down the hall to lunch or to the Art Room. One 5th grader said, "Those are great - are we going to do them?"
