Mixed Media Watermelon Still Life
Mixed media art refers to a visual art form that combines a variety of media in a single artwork. For this fun summer art activity you may use watercolors, color pencils, markers, pastels or whatever dry or wet water based media you have at home. In this Community ArtKitchen video you will learn how to sketch an interesting composition depicting watermelon slices. You will also be introduced to the wet-on-wet with salt watercolor technique as well as how to achieve a nice clean, crisp edge around your painting. Enjoy and have fun!
Happy Summer!

Theme: Transportation
Whether by land or by sea, humans have always sought to traverse the earth and move to new locations. The evolution of transportation has brought us from simple canoes to space travel, and there's no telling where we could go next and how we will get there. My personal preferred choice of transportation is the bicycle. It is great for my health and for the earth because bicycle do not pollute the environment. Below I have created two art activities inspired by the bicycle. Enjoy!
