Blind Contour Spring Drawing

Spring Watercolor Drawing

In this Blind Contour Spring Drawing we started out by drawing the flowers with a white crayon.  The flower figures start to appear as the water color paint covers the paper.  It was fun to see them MAGICALLY appear!  Once the painting had dried, a construction matte finished the project.


The set back I experienced with this project is that I had drawn my flowers with the white crayon, and when I painted the flowers with the red, purple and yellow water colors I started way out of the flower drawing, so I purposely did that with the additional two flowers to look as though I meant for it to be oversize and out of the flower lines.

An extension project would be a science essay to accompany this picture on the life cycle of a seed/plant/plant cell.
