Kids Art @myartsandcreatives 2014 – “Aqua series”

The “Aqua series” started with drawing concept as usual and then we used the medium “oil pastels” for the colors. The best thing with oil pastels is that students can play with blending and scratch-out-details which are not best with crayons. Layering can also be done successfully in this medium.

As oil pastels and watercolors don’t mix, doing the background with watercolor is easy and students can paint the background literally over the subjects. Again I gave them a tips for painting a smooth, real under water resembling background!

Techniques: Drawing,

                    Smooth and realistic underwater.
