Watercolor Lanterns- Painting I/II


Tuesday Painting started watercolor lanterns.  They created their paper using liquid watercolors, salt to create a starburst effect and plastic wrap to create "folds".

Wednesday they applied the pattern to the lanterns and started applying zentangles to them.  They could do the entire lantern or part of the lantern with patterns.

Here a photos of the steps in creating the lanterns.

Step 1- Painting with the  salt and watercolors


Step 2- Adding the pattern to the back- cutting it out and folding so you know where to zentangle.


Step 3- Zentangling at its finest.

More zentangling

Step 4- Putting them together.
