Watercolor wash over ink, lighthouses - teen class

We have been talking about shading and how we can use ink to draw and shade an object. The students looked at some photos of lighthouses and took note of where the shadows and shapes were. They drew the shapes in pencil then went over the lines with ink. Watercolor washes were used to finish!

Day and Night Lighthouses, ages 10-13

This has to be another of my favorite projects. The students drew lighthouses and then drew dividing lines to show the difference of night and day colors in their painting. They put a lot of thought in to the colors that they used!
