Experiencing Winslow Homer's style - Watercolours


On Friday, we explored the works of Winslow Homer, an artist that was a master of outdoor painting scenes. Homer was one of the first artists to create watercolour paintings. He used watercolour for perspective, and this style is used to create the feeling that some things in the picture look far away while other things looked closer. 



The children experimented the technique of wet-on-wet watercolour, painting the land, trees, a mountain lake and the sky.
