Description

Class Experience

In this fun class, we will paint an underwater scene from an unusual perspective--a simple mermaid tail that looks like it is swimming toward the surface of the water!
We will practice drawing the tail and a simple scale pattern, discuss and draw other sea life that can be included, such as seaweed, coral, sea stars, other small animals such as seahorses, jellyfish, etc., and then paint the whole scene with watercolor (or acrylic) paint.
Students will also have the choice of coloring their...

paper for practice
pencil, eraser, sharpener
images of sea animals and plants (optional and helpful)
watercolor paper
watercolor paint
paint brushes, different sizes
bowl of water
paper towels
covering to protect table or desk
**OPTIONAL: Students may substitute different materials if they wish, but will need to be able to adapt to those materials on their own, as I will be teaching watercolor techniques. Alternate materials may include acrylic paint on canvas, colored pencils or markers on paper, or a tablet and app (such as iPad and Procreate).

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

50 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
