Step-by-step tutorial
Step 1
We have been reading a lot of ocean books lately, so this painting was very exciting for my five-year old to work on. She brought out a few of her books to use as a reference while drawing.
Step 2
She began to draw the ocean and all that she imagined to be in it. She loves to use watercolor pencils because they make her feel so grown up!
Step 3
Her drawing came out beautifully, but there was much more to come.
Step 4
As she started to paint over her drawing with water, her eyes lit up and the picture really became a beautiful ocean in her sweet eyes.
Final result!
It's amazing how a few simple materials and a sweet child's imagination can make such a beautiful piece of art work. This is one I'll be saving for sure!
