Painting wet in wet with the beginners class

Our second beginners class explored painting on a pre-wet area and mixing colour on the paper by working wet into wet. I provided some clip art drawings of flowers so we could all be working on the same subject and students could concentrate on paint application rather than drawing.

I worked on one petal at a time and you can see where I have kept a barrier of dry white paper between each area while the paint was still wet to avoid any unwanted mixing.

I have completed the clip art design.

I have added more flowers and painted a loose background to make the design a little more my own.
