GO AHEAD, BLOB IT UP!

WATERCOLOR BLOB CREATURES
7TH GRADE ART WHEEL - 2015-2016 - 3RD QUARTER
watercolor, colored pencil & marking pen

The 7th graders love to end the quarter with these crazy blobs.
Mixing up a color scheme then dropping it into water on watercolor paper is so much fun.
But the best part is after it dries,
turning it in all 4 directions,
and finding buried creatures and making them come alive with a fine point marker.
Then let's bring in a bit of colored pencil to put in a little value & texture,
plus some zentangling for interest.
Let's check them out.

  1. No wonder the kids look forward to doing this!! I want to do this too, with my granddaughters! How much/deep should the paper be sitting in? Of course if we do this with construction paper, it might not be advisable to have in water at all...{silly grin}

  2. It may not have been Athena's intention, but I can't help seeing the hunched over figure staring grimly into a smartphone while the windblown little figure to the left gazes happily into a book.

  3. I love the bright colors, the minute details and the rampant imagination that brought life to these shapes
