Materials

  • watercolor paper or sturdy drawing paper

  • black permanent marker

  • bowl or lid (for tracing a circle)

  • oil pastels

  • watercolors and brushes

  • optional: gold or silver permanent markers

Directions

  1. Use a permanent marker to create the sun and moon faces. Using a bowl or lid, trace a large circle in the center of the paper. Inside the circle, draw a crescent moon shape with a nose.

  2. Draw two eyes, one on the sun side and one on the moon side. Then, draw a mouth that goes across both the sun and moon.

  3. Add rays to the sun & stars in the background.

  4. Color with pastels.

  5. Use the watercolors as a watercolor wash. Paint over and around the sun with yellow and/or orange. The pastels will resist the watercolors, and the paint will fill in all the white space. Paint the rest of the background and the moon with blue and/or purple watercolors. Let dry
