Straw blown Watercolor Trees

 

Here is some more strawn blown artwork.  This time we made them into trees.  The first step to the project was to chose a color for the trees.  The students dripped their color close to the bottom of the page and then used the straws to blow and push the paint towards the top of the page. They did this 3-4 times depending on spacing.  Once they finished this step they wiped out the same color for the landscape.  The last step was to add the leaves.  Students choose another color and blotted in the leaves.  This is a pretty easy project that we were able to finish in one 50 minute session.
