Mixed media paintings of layered underwater scenes using oil pastels and watercolour paints
We’re inspired by

Images of seaweed and fish local to the Pacific Northwest Coast

Suggested grade levels
Grades 2-7

  • How can we use layering, negative space, and colour, to depict movement in a painting of a fish in an underwater environment?
