Everly Watercolor


I start watercolor units with my students next week so I've hauled out my tubes, paper and brushes and rearranged my classroom so everyone can get to the sinks. My daughter, Lindsay, asked me to create a dimensional watercolor painting for her niece, Everly for her birthday just as I had everything set up. I love doing this large dimensional pieces. I paint and embellish with colored pencils on 200 pound watercolor paper then cut out the little pieces with an X-acto knife. I then apply them around the page using little foam scrapbook adhesive tabs. I've done these for baby gifts for just about everyone in the family. Instead of little cartoon characters I've done in the past, this one just has butterflies, buttons and bows.
