Cactus Watercolour Paintings

Here's another project where student can practice both their drawing skills as well as their watercolour painting skills.

I printed out sheets with lots of varieties of cacti. Grade 4-6 students drew their cacti in a pot on a table. They had to add a simple pattern to the background or be creative in some way. They were outlined in sharpie then painted using pan watercolours. For final details, paint pens were used to add additional patterns.
