colour tricks

3. Special art tricks: Light
Draw a sun: start white inside, then move out, changing to yellow, orange and red.
You can see the same principle in other light sources too! Also, make use of spiking rays to show light.

5. Drawing trees and bushes
Think about light on the tree. Colour. Texture. Roots, branches and leaves.
Don’t just draw a brown stick with a green ball on top!

7. More special art tricks:
Adding shadow and shade by watercol0ur paints, or hatching and cross-hatching.

9. Even more special art tricks
Making objects look 3-D.
With watercolour, use lightest colours first.
Use water to blur; wet the paper first and let paint spread through it.

11. Mixing colours Use your pallette to mix colours and make new ones!
Purple = red + blue. Brown = red + green. Black (difficult!) = blue + red + yellow.

14. Adding other art materials
