Take & Make: Watercolor Winter Bear

Watercolor Winter Bear

Capture the peaceful beauty of a winter landscape in watercolor! Paint a brown bear strolling through a snowy scene, surrounded by falling snow and a graceful birch tree with delicate branches.
Students will explore a variety of watercolor techniques, including a wet-on-wet technique for creating a soft, atmospheric winter sky. The bear image will be provided as a tracing template, making this class approachable for artists of all experience levels.

All materials will be supplied except for the following items:

● Tape – masking or painter’s tapes are good. Scotch tape will do in a pinch.
● A surface onto which you can tape your paper. Use a flat, rigid surface you don’t mind getting paint on. You can use: foamboard, a plastic or metal tray, the back of a cookie sheet or a rigid self healing cutting mat.
● Blow dryer or craft heat tool
● Two containers of water
● Paper towels
