Week 1 (February 2): Purchase all of the materials needed to complete the watercolour painting.
Week 2 (February 7-13): Begin the watercolour painting by simply adding each colour onto the paper to understand how much they combine together/don’t combine together
Week 3 (February 14- 20): READING WEEK. With each colour, paint a bit onto the paper. What happens if there is lots of water mixed in? What happens if there is very little water mixed in? What happens if you press the paint brush down hard? What happens if you lightly push the paint brush?
Week 4 (February 21- 27): Using the watercolours, draw a line of each colour close to each other to examine what occurs and if it combines together or not (combining together is not desired).
Week 5 (February 28-March 6): Using the watercolours, I will once again draw a line of each colour close to each other to examine what occurs and if it combines together or not (combining together is not desired). Only do this if more practiced is needed. If ready to move on, begin drawing circles around each other with different colours, attempting to prevent the colours from combining together.
Week 6 (March 7-13): Attempt painting hills with the watercolours. Possibly also creating a sky scene in the background.
Week 7 (March 14 – 20): Attempt to paint flowers onto the hill scene or onto a new piece of paper.
Week 8 (March 21-27): Try painting some simple fruits onto a blank sheet. For example, lemons, limes, watermelon, or any other desired fruits.
Week 9 (March 28-April 3): Find an image online that I would like to attempt to paint with my watercolours.
Week 10 (April 4-10): Find an image online that I would like to attempt to paint with my watercolours.
Week 11 (April 11-17): Find an image online that I would like to attempt to paint with my watercolours (if time permits)
April 19: Project due
As outlined above, I will attempt to do one thing with the watercolour painting each week. In total, I will probably spend one day a week on the painting. Particularly, the paint will either occur on weekends or evenings. However, as I begin to get more detailed I might take my time during the week to finish the painting.
