Process of Liquid Watercolors on Watercolor Paper

It is so fun to see the beautiful painted paper that my 2nd graders and MD unit created. We looked at the color wheel and discussed how colors placed next to each other on the wheel, analogous colors, complement each other. 

Do you see the continent of Africa? We did!

Next we discussed about color mixing and how colors across from each other on the wheel make "brown and muddy" colors.

This is the background to a future project so stay tuned!

Enjoyment was had by learning how to handle the colors- PROCESS is so more important to a young budding artist!
