The Grand Canyon

Grab your hiking gear, we're heading to the Grand Canyon! We'll learn all about this national park to practice painting sunsets, make our Colorado Rivers sparkle, and add the canyon walls layer by layer. 
This lesson is a great chance to practice blending and painting in layers 🥾🌅

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.

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!

My favorite was painting the sunset and adding the birds and fishies. I made a mistake but turned it into a waterfall!
