Watercolour painting with school dyes |
You will need:
: A school water base dye - or a
food dye: Paper (not too thin)
: Black Marker Pen
: Pencil
: Brushes. (Soft hair watercolour brushes are better): Apron and a cover sheet or newspapers or paper towels
Let’s get started:
First make sure you have
protection on the painting surfaces.
Wear old clothing, smocks or aprons.Start with a very simple basic outline pencil sketch.
Make sure the outlines are dark
enough for the children to paint around.
Pour the dyes into trays and
paint pots.
Start to paint in your picture
using one brush per colour. Try not to
overload your brush. The lighter you
paint the better the watercolour effect and it will dry much faster.
Once dry use a black marker to
outline the details. It is important not to use the market before you paint as
some markers will react with the dye and spoil the picture.
TIPS:
:You can mix
colours but things can quickly get messy with dirty colours and dirty brushes.:Thin paper can get over wet and fall apart.
