WATERCOLOR LINES

2. Materials
•Watercolor Paints
•Paint Brush (#3)
•Water Container
•Color Pencils
•White Paper (5” x 12”)

3. Step 1: Wavy Stripes
Start with black
watercolor paint and
create a wavy stripe
going from one end of
paper to other breaking
the space in half.

4. Wavy Stripes Continued
Begin to alternate
through colors creating
new wavy stripes across
paper without
overlapping each other.

5. Wavy Stripes Continued
Continue to alternate
between colors.

6. Wavy Stripes Continued
As paper gets filled take
time to let stripes dry
before painting new
stripes. This will help
prevent smudging.

7. Wavy Stripes Continued
Once paper is filled with
at least 12 stripes and
no more than 18 let dry.

8. Step 2: Color Pencil
Using color pencils
begin to fill in white
spaces alternating
colors just as we did
with paints.

9. Color Pencil Continued
Colors may be repeated
but make sure they are
not in spaces that are
touching each other.

10. Step 3: Frame and Finish
Use a piece of black
construction paper to
mount finished image
on and hang on wall for
showing.
