Swan

Swans were our inspiration in art class this week! The students used the sight-size method of drawing at the easels to draw a swan in graphite on white paper. Then they transferred their drawings onto watercolor paper and painted their swans in watercolor paint. Great job! Scroll through the slideshow to see a finished swan watercolor painting.
