  7. Underwater FantasyInspired by Paul Klee • Using a black crayon or oil pastel, draw an underwater scene on your paper . • Add some things that you wouldn't normally find underwater.... a clock, flowers, people, etc. • Lay some squares of "bleeding" art tissue on your paper; use paint brush to apply water on top of the tissue. • Repeat #3, covering as much or as little of your paper with color as you like. Use plenty of water so your tissue will "bleed"! 5. Set aside to dry. Image & Lesson retrieved May 2012 from http://teachkidsart.blogspot.ca/
