Sun & Moon Watercolor Project
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
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.
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.
Add rays to the sun & stars in the background.
Color with pastels.
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
