Creative Warm Up - Watercolour and Black Marker
When kids arrive at my studio for art class after school there’s a mix of energies coming at me. To reset the group I like to always start a class with a creative warm up. It’s different every week. Last week we started with a 2 part warm up, meaning we started it at the beginning of the class and then finished it at the end. It requires some drying time in order for us to be able to put details on top with the black marker.
Drawing Prompt - Clouds
There’s an art to painting or drawing clouds. They seem like they should be easy, and they are if you’re going for those fun cartoony clouds, but I think the hardest part is creating something fluffy and dimensional with a few shades of a colour.
Art Project - Oh Greenhouse
Inspired by artwork by Oamul Lu, a fantastic artist that you should look up, I created this Oh Greenhouse art project for an adult art class of mine. I wanted to try the masking fluid I had just purchased to help shape the greenhouse framing. It’s also a cool way to show contrast, between the inside and the outside of the greenhouse.
