1. Print it out

Choose a paper size that is slightly smaller than your watercolor paper.

2. Shade the back

Flip your traceable over and use a pencil to shade the back. When you hold your paper up to the light, you will be able to see the traceable on the other side.

Shade the back of the traceable with pencil
Double check the back is fully shaded

3. Transfer to watercolor paper

Place your traceable on your watercolor paper with the scribbled side down. Firmly trace over the lines. When you remove the traceable, you will see a faint sketch has transferred over to your watercolor paper. This gives your learner a guide to draw over during class!

Hiii!! I love your singing! And lessons! They are so much fun! Your painting is really pretty! You taught me how to do pine trees! And shade! I’ve never been a good water colourer so I was super surprised by what I was able to do with your help! Thank so much! And I hope you have a wonderful, fall, or day or any season! Depending on when you read this!! - Emmy!
