Winslow Homer

I love Winslow Homer's coastal scenes and genre painting.  Students learned about his work and the importance of his use of watercolor as a medium for completed paintings.  Older students worked on painting a seascape of their own in watercolor learning several techniques: wet in wet, wet on dry, glazing, and more.They also did all their own color mixing with a Prang palette!

Younger students worked on a simpler version of this painting while still learning these same watercolor techniques and a wax resist. Some of the students chose a moonscape while others did a sunset.
