Watercolor Sheep
I love almost anything that children paint with watercolor. This is a simple watercolor resist, done with sheep imagined on a hillside.
1. I started by giving the students watercolor paper and a pencil. They are to draw, as lightly as they can, three to five ovals, which will be their sheep bodies.
2. Next they get a white crayon and are to color heavily inside the ovals. Even when they think they are done, ask them to color a little bit more.
3. Give the students a choice of dark crayon colors for their sheep head and feet, such as purple, black or blue. With one color, they need to draw a triangle for the head, two ears to the side and four lines for the feet. These shapes also need to be colored in really well so that they will show up later.
4. Green crayons may be distributed to draw just a few grass lines.
5. Finally, I like to have liquid watercolor paint on hand so the students may pick one color and paint over their entire drawing. The crayon will resist the paint and the white bodies will now show up because of the background color – like magic!
