Vocabulary Words: Silhouette, Landscape, wet-on-wet watercolor

Materials: 6x12" white paper, sharpies, watercolors

This project has a unique challenge of creating a landscape in silhouette on long paper. My students are uncomfortable with this new size and with leaving out details, but once they begin the excitement grows. After drawing their silhouettes they color them with sharpies. Once colored, paint the sky with water, then apply watercolor using horizontal brush strokes.
