WATER & WAX

FOCUS: Water Color Resist

Remote Learning with ArtinaBoxCo.

def. Resist: to withstand the action or effect of...

Tools: 

paper, crayons, water colors 

(if you dont have watercolors, tint water with food coloring)

           paintbrush, and cup for water.

CREATE

With crayons, draw your desired scene, abstract, portrait, still life (your choice)

Only use basic lines to create image.

Use watercolor or tinted water to fill up the spaces of your image. 

Paint right over the crayon lines. 

You will notice that the crayon will "resist"

 the water color and stand out from the pigment.

Let your artwork air dry.

Notice the contrast of color and texture. Both lending themselves to the look of your art.

THINK:

* Why don't the crayon and the watercolor mix?

*How can you use the crayon to add texture to the image?

Make multiple images, try different variations.

Keep learning, keep having fun. Create.
