Painting Studio Mini Lesson ....a technique to create texture!
It is a cold, icy day today! In the painting studio we can create that same icy, cold feeling. Using water colors we can paint our paper (we have practiced wet on wet and dry on dry). We can mix colors of the sky if we wish or maybe the purple, orange and yellows of a sunset sky. While the watercolor is wet we sprinkle a little salt on top of the paint....and wait...you will see icy images appear. The salt absorbs the water/pigment. Wait until the painting dries and brush off the salt.
Kid Questions:
What can you paint on top of your background?
You can use these salted papers for collage papers.Maybe it reminds you of something else? You can draw on top of it.
What can you create??
Can you take these frosty papers to other studios and use them??
