1. Fish • Pick out a few fish that you like. • Sketch 3 THUMBNAIL sketches in your sketchbook to decide where you want to put your fish in the picture • TRACE or DRAW the fish onto your watercolor paper using PENCIL • Think about composition!!!
1A. Fish • Each fish must have 3 colors • A wash – light color • Shadows – darker color • 3rd color that is texture or layered color • We will work on this together
2. Landscape (Background) • Is there sand or pebbles on the bottom? • Are there plants? What type? • Draw them in PENCIL
2A. Landscape (Background) • Think about your colors • Have some variety • I don’t want to see a flat painting
Sharpie! • Once you have everything drawing in PENCIL you are ready for the next step… • Outline everything carefully in sharpie marker
3. Water! • Not just solid blue! • Are there bubbles? • Try different water designs!
