At St. Luke's Primary School the past few weeks--in grades kinder through 3, I have been doing some guided drawings. First, I led the 1st graders through a guided drawing of simple birds, then
I just let them paint them with the liquid watercolors. I only
cautioned them to wash out their brush before changing to a new color.
We drew the birds with black oil pastels so the outlines resist the water colors. They did great !

| I always love how each drawing/painting is so
different! |
And with the 3rd graders I did the same with tropical fish--we used an oil pastel resist, then painted blue watercolors over the guided drawings. The oil pastel resist makes the fish pop out--the kids just love that! Again each fish is so different...
