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

1. Print traceable

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.

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. Drawing over a guide can help younger learners build confidence and fine motor skills!
