Ahhhh....finally summer is in the air! This school year has been a wonderful year, and again I am blessed to have worked with so many talented young ladies and gentleman. One of our latest units has been working with liquid watercolors, which I love because the colors are so vibrant AND they speed up the watercolor painting process! They are all ready liquid form, so no need to add water! I do multiple watercolor painting projects with my Intro classes - and one they seem to enjoy the most is the experimental watercolor techniques. We use salt, rice, plastic wrap, and other household items to create visual texture. I absolutely love what salt does to watercolor!

Another watercolor project that I am trying out right now (only a few students are completely finished) is painting on a crackled surface. When you use watercolors, it creates this mosaic or almost a stained glass affect. So far, so good - the projects are turning out beautifully! And the kids really like the final look.
