I don't know about you...but when The Countdown to Summer begins, I often start thinking about my life choices...aka How I Wanna Do this Art Teacherin' Thing Differently Next Year. Anyone else? So it's with that in mind that I thought I'd share with you my FAVORITE watercolor tips and tricks for the elementary art room. Here ya go:
These tips and tricks come straight from me having MANY moments in my art room where I saw something that made my left eye twitch and I paused to think:
What the heck did I just see?
What the heck did I just see?
AND who are these kids' art teacher cuz she needs to do SOMETHING.
And that's when I realize...oh yeah. It me.
Now I've chatted MANY times about watercolor before. Having seen so much in my 25 years in the art room, I was always trying something new. So I can assure you, these are my sure-fire wins.
As far as supplies goes, I have my list of favorite things right here, just for you! Now, like I mention in the video, I do work with Prang so that's why my supply list is Prang heavy. HOWEVER...they are also the only brand on the market that sells refills! And sells those empty trays (which I pushed hard for! So I hope you love 'em!) so...there's that.
Now I will be coming at you later this week with my very favorite watercolor art lessons. Watercolor is the perfect thing this time of year: it's low mess/low stress and everyone loves it! That is...if you give these tips and tricks a try.
ALSO...did you know that if you and your friends do a book study of my book, you can reach out to me for a zoom chat? Yep! I've done many with school districts and it's always a blast! I'm at cassieart75@gmail.com.
Happy May, friends!
