He liked bold colors and often painted animals. I was inspired by this painting "Little Blue Horse" and decided to have my students replicate the bold colors and they were so excited to learn how to draw a horse! (tutorial coming soon)
Materials needed:
- Circle templates for horse drawing (optional)
- Pencils
- Erasers
- Black Sharpie
- Watercolor paint
- Watercolor paper - one piece for the horse, one piece for the background
- Brushes
- Scissors
- Glue
Directions:
1. I started with a simple tutorial on how to draw a horse, starting with only 4 circles. (tutorial pics coming soon!) We sketched the horse, outlined the outside edges with Sharpie and erased all the pencils lines.
2. Once the horse is outlined, paint it blue, demonstrate how to get darker and/or lighter blue. Encourage experimentation with getting different shades of blue.
3. Once dry, cut out the horse
4. Using Marc's Little Blue Horse as an example, paint the background landscape using bright watercolors to mimic the colors in the horizon, foreground, etc.
5. Once background is dry, glue horse down.
Take a look at what we made! WOW! They did a great job!
