Blending Colours

We looked closely at some of Van Gogh's paintings. We then decided to create some of our own paintings of flowers in a vase. We blended primary colours to make secondary colours and we added white to our paints to make a lighter shade. These paintings took several sessions. First we drew outlines of our pictures in chalk, then we painted our flowers, the vase, and the table top. In the last session we painted the backgrouds a contrasting colour and made some finishing touches with pastel. Come and visit our classroom to see the finished paintings!
