6 step Water Color art project

During our Co-op the kids worked on a 6 step water color project.  I have to get the exact directions still, but thought I would share the results-they are beautiful (and they didn't even turn out like they were "suppose" to-so we'll do this again to see how we do the second time around. Doesn't matter-I am quite pleased with them!)

Using watercolors, a series of steps, saran wrap, salt, rubbing alcohol,  and lots of water-plus a black pen for outlining-this is what we got and I cannot wait to frame and display these beauties!

Final results are striking.  DD's is horizontal, DS's is vertical

close up of dd's-salt is the white splashes, round dots-I believe is rubbing alcohol...have to check tho

close up of the saran wrap leaf-it is suppose to leave these marks-dd's didn't work right-prob'ly b/cuz we had to move them to dry (due to being at the church and we couldn't leave them out)...so when we do this at home, they will stay put to see if we get better results.

I will post some more of the other kids too-have to get them transferred to this puter first-but they are gorgeous!  I am so proud of our little watercolor artists! Look for the update soon-
