Today we started into watercolor. At the beginning of the semester, the kids got into it a little bit, but not too formally. Wertz and I showed off how to get an interesting underpainting with lifting, wax resist, and other techniques. Watercolor is a much different animal than anything else we've gotten into this semester, or anything else that there is in the art field, for that matter. It is very difficult to control, and that is what brings beauty to it. The nuances that occur and the simplicity that it can bring are wonderful. It is frustrating at first, and we're trying to let the kids know that ahead of time.
