Winter Watercolors

“A Winter’s Full-Moon”
After an autumn watercolor project turned out so nicely for Ammon and Carter, I decided to try one for winter.
Need (Suggested beginning doses: more paint for darker color OR add more water to lighten it up)
1 Plastic Cup
4 tsp. Water
2 drops Watercolor Paint (Van Gogh #506-Ultramarine)
1 White Oil Pastel Crayon (Holbein Oil Pastel)
1 Paintbrush
Step 4: Paint! Make sure you saturate the paper. The oil pastel will repel the water (oil doesn’t mix with water).
Step 5: Find a flat place for your painting to dry.
As you can see, I decided to frame the work. Ask me more about that in the comments!
The paintings flanked our mantel for Christmas, and they will remain there until spring.
