2. Pick Up Your book and all the pieces you cut out last class
Save the sticky notes with questions on them, so you can respond back to the question
We are going to put our paintings in our books and make notes about what we did to create that effect

3. Page 1-5
Leave Blank for now, I still have those paintings, I need to grade them and get them back to you

4. Page 6 & 7 Page 6 = the sunset Page 7 = the sponge
Blending colors, wet on wet
Page 7 = the sponge
Blending colors, wring out the sponge so you don’t get water all over your paper, careful not to mix colors when getting paint on the sponge

5. Page 8 & 9
Page 8 – clouds
Dab paper when it is still wet to soak up the pigment, add shadows under your clouds with grey
Page 9 – rubbing alcohol
Spray rubbing alcohol on paint before it dries, the rubbing alcohol dries faster than the water

6. Page 10 & 11 Page 10 – crayons and watercolor
The crayons are wax, so they reject that water color pigment from soaking into the paper where the crayon is
Page 11 – rubber cement & sale
Rubber cement stops the watercolor from soaking into the paper, once the rubber cement is dry you can put watercolor on it, once the watercolor is dry you can peel the rubber cement off, careful not to smear the paint when taking off the rubber cement
Salt – sprinkle sale on wet pigment, it will soak up some of the paint and make spots of a lighter tone or the color of the paper

7. Page 12 & 13 Page 12 – ripping paper to make mountain range
Ripped pieces of paper in the shape of a mountain
Painted away from the paper, let dry, repeated these steps to create multiple mountain rangers
Page 13 – blowing paint with a straw
Adding a droplet of paint to the paper, blew the paint with a straw
Any tips you want to add?

8. Page 14 & 15 Page 14 - Negative painting
Painted the background first
Painted the area around the object instead of painting the object
Why? – creates a high contrast and reverses the negative & positive space
Page 15 – masking off area with tape
Used tape to create an image
Painted around it
Let it dry, then peeled the tape up

9. Page 16 & 17 Page 16 – mixing color X’s
Explain why we mixed colors
Page 17 – a free paint where we applied the paint blowing, salt, or wet on wet techniques ( we did this at the end of class on the day we learned those techniques)

10. The two paintings we made when we went outside

11. Pages 20 – 24 are blank
We will add a few more techniques to these pages
So keep them blank and we will save it for later
Thank you!
I know that was a lot, but now you have your very own technique book that you can use as a resources when we start working on multiple day paintings
It’s always good to have reminders of how to do things & you’ll be able to see the improvement you make over time!
