Project overview

For this project you will be creating:
1. A sample sheet showing different techniques
2. A snowman
3. A Fish or flower
4. A Lighthouse

Sample sheet:

Here you will create a "sample" of the following techniques:
1. Wet on wet
2. Dry
3. Gradient
4. Salt
5. Resist
6. Sponge
7. Plastic Wrap
8. Cardboard

Follow the instructions on each technique below and complete the sample in your sample sheet. 

STEP 1 - To start, cut you piece of paper and label it as shown. If you are using your home paper, create eight sections approximately 3 x 4 inches.
STEP 2 - Do #1 wet on wet technique. This is basically wetting the paper before applying any pigment. Please watch the video below. In this video he used three colors, your sample sheet only needs one color.
STEP 3 - Do #2 Dry technique after watching this video.
STEP 4 - Do #3 Gradient. Similar to wet on wet but use plain water to create a gradient that gradually transitions from color to no color. Watch the video below and use clear water instead of an additional color.
STEP 5 - Do #4 Salt Technique. It is the application of some table salt crystals to a wet watercolor area. In this video, please ignore the third demo of speckling "masking fluid" on the watercolor area.
STEP 6 - Do #5 Resist Technique. This is where you use tape or some other medium to "block" the watercolor from getting on the paper. In this case, you can used masking tape (blue painters tape is best if you have it)
STEP 7 - Do #6 Sponge technique. Use whatever types of sponges you can get your hands on. This technique will help to add texture to your paintings.
STEP 8 - Do #7 Plastic Wrap technique. In the video below, the artist compares different types of wrap. You don't need to do that, just one example using any plastic wrap. Be sure the paint has some water and it very wet. It will not work if the paint is dry on the paper.
STEP 9 - Do #8 Cardboard Technique. Fast forward to time stamp 2:11 to see this technique. Try it out as the last sample. 

Snowman scene

STEP 10 - Create a snowman scene using at least FOUR techniques. Paint from lightest to darkest and wettest to driest. Here are some examples. You should use the piece of your watercolor paper that you cut off. 

Fish or flower

STEP 11 - Create either a fish or a flower using at least FOUR techniques. Paint from lightest to darkest and wettest to driest. Here are some examples. You should use the second piece of watercolor paper. ​

Lighthouse

STEP 12 - Create a lighthouse painting using all techniques to enhance your painting.. Paint from lightest to darkest and wettest to driest. Here are some examples. You should get from school another piece of watercolor paper. ​Use tape to cover your lighthouse when you are doing your sky.
