PDL Module A : Watercolour Exploration

luv directing kiddos to use watercolour as a background medium just cos the wet-on-wet technique is a quick and easy method to cover a huge area with a base colour and for the kiddos to clean up after usage... 

i know, not a valid reason why this medium is being used... that's why i made arting with it more my first PDL module.. =)

< lesson with teacher CC & using professional watercolours >

 

< Homework using school watercolours >
