This is a how-to-paint a picture of Morning Glories flowers.
This is a fun project that any young artist will like to try. The morning glories are beautiful blue flower surrounded by large green leaves. The young artist will gain a sense of accomplishment and confidence when it is done.Parents, teachers, and homeschool families will be able to use this in class or as a take-home project. It can be done as an extra assignment or given as a lesson by itself.
I made this worksheet for my own art students so they could practice painting on their own. I have a companion lesson on how to draw these flowers at my how to draw blog. SEE IT HERE.
Remember to set your printer to color.

ART SUPPLY LIST
You can use any watercolor paint. I prefer my small Windsor Newton paint set; it has a nice selection of colors. I also use Grumbacher Paints in the tubes. You can easily find these at any craft store like Lobby Hobby or Michaels. (Look for coupons online.) You can collect lots of paintbrushes, but it is better at the start to keep it simple with a few small, medium, and medium-large brushes and a combination of flats as well as rounded paintbrushes. For these art lessons, I use Strathmore series 300 Watercolor paper. It is economical and available at Michaels and Hobby Lobby and online.
PRINTABLE PROJECT NOTES
TRACING
Start by tracing the design onto 140 lb watercolor paper. If the paper is too heavy to see through just hold it against a window with the light shining through and you should be able to trace it.
FIRST WASH
Do the background first by wetting the paper and with a medium brush drop in blue, purple and lavender in a random pattern then let the colors run together.
Mix a mustard yellow and paint the fence post behind the flowers. Use a small brush up and down to give it streaky up and down grain
NOW LET THIS STEP DRY
With a medium-sized brush and lay down a watery green in the leaves. Let it dry before adding shadows and details.
After the fence post dries use a very small brush and paint brown streaks in for the wood grain. Use blue and brown mix for the shadows under leaves.
Use watery violet and paint the inside edge of the flowers, then with a clean brush with a little clear water guide the color from the edge to the center of the flowers. Add a little purple or blue in places for shadows and reflective light.
After the leaves are dry mix some green, brown, and a little blue to make a dark green for the shadows. and the veins in the leaves.
Use yellow-green for the vines.
Use light blue for the blossoms.
After the flower is dry use a pale blue for the star in the center.
Sign your work about an inch from the bottom.
