I tried this Watercolor Tulip project today, and found it was a good time to introduce a little wet-on-wet painting practice.
1. I recommend drawing the two cup shaped flowers first, one tipping to the side. Add gently curved stems below, and then leaves beside or behind. Dropped petals may be added.
2. Trace the drawing with a black Sharpie marker.
3. Add some crayon lines to flowers as desired.
4. Paint all with liquid watercolor paint. While the petals are still wet, try adding drops of other colors and watch them bleed together. I used the Dick Blick student brand, with my favorite Turquoise Blue for the background.

So pretty! I'm going to do these this week in between spring concert rehearsals. It'll be a nice break from squeezing in Math lessons :)

I LOVE this idea. So simple, yet so lovely! Thank you for all the great ideas you share. I really do appreciate that I'm no longer having to stress out about finding an art project for the week. It's nice to have so many good ideas "in the bank" to pick from. Thanks again!
