Parts of a Landscape (Watercolor)
Watercolor Landscape
Requirements:
Draw a landscape with at least one object in each section –
foreground, middle ground, and background.
Paint the landscape using at least 2 watercolor techniques.
NOTE: if you do not have materials to do this at home, you can complete this
during Homeroom time, or talk to Ms. Myers to figure out another time that
works.
Watercolor
techniques:
1.
Wet on Dry
a.
Wet paint on dry paper. The way you would
“normally” paint.
2.
Wet on Wet
a.
Get your paper damp with plain, clean water
first. Then paint on top.
3.
Dry Brush
a.
Dry off your brush and don’t add any extra water
to the watercolor paint. This should look rough and streaky.
4.
Salt
a.
Paint part of your artwork, then sprinkle salt
on while it’s still wet.
5.
Oil Pastel Resist
a.
Draw lines or designs with an oil pastel or
crayon. Then paint on top. The oil pastel or crayon should “resist” the water and
let your design show through the paint.
6.
Watercolor Pencils
a.
Watercolor pencils work like normal pencils when
they are dry, and turn into paint when you add water.
Finished artwork example:
The cars are in the foreground, the trees are in the middle
ground, and the buildings are in the background.
Most of the painting is “wet on dry” but the sky is painted using “wet on wet.”
Success Criteria:
- A landscape with at least one object in each section: foreground, middle ground, and background
- Fully painted using at least 2 watercolor techniques
- Draw and color a landscape that includes at least one object in each section: foreground, middle ground, and background.
