Macaw Parrot

Meet one of the most colorful birds in the world: the macaw parrot! In this adventure, we'll learn about these amazing parrots and how to draw one. Then we'll practice color mixing to paint their beautiful rainbow feathers!

This lesson is a great chance to learn about color theory and create all the colors of the rainbow with just three colors 🎨

Traceables in 3 Easy Steps

If drawing is hard for your learner, make a quick traceable! Traceables can help younger artists build fine motor skills and confidence.

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.

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!
