Fourth Grade Underwater Scenes

These are not finished. We have been learning about warm/cool colors for our fish and creature watercolors.  We talked about focal point, background, and what makes a good composition. The painting should not have empty spaces. The fish were traced in oil pastel with warm colors.

Next we used liquid watercolors all around the background. It was fun to see all the creative imaginations and the sea creatures they added to the scene.

The last step will be to use pan watercolors to finish the details on the fish this week.
