Watercolour Painting



Here are some of the watercolour techniques I needed to think about in order to produce this amazing painting:

Choose a broad brush and use it to wash the paper with water
Switch to a finer brush; wet it and then dab it dry on a paper towel
Select a colour, starting with the palest
Look closely at the colours and shapes you see
Add a bit of detail to show flowers or leaves
Try not to leave any of the paper blank
Dab the last of the water off with the paper towel
Leave it in the sun to dry

Why not come to the classroom and take a closer look at my painting? I would love to know what you think of it.

Patterns in the classroom

I made two patterns using cogs. One goes green orange yellow, green orange yellow - and so on.....
My other pattern goes purple purple yellow blue, purple purple yellow blue - and so on.....
I made this pattern with some unifix cubes and they go brown, dark red, yellow, blue, dark red, brown, yellow, blue and so on. It is a complicated pattern.
I made four patterns on the 6th of December. They are all ab patterns. One goes purple green purple green and so on. One goes blue green blue green and so on. The other one goes blue yellow blue yellow and so on. It is taller than me.
