 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 sky first by wetting the paper and with a medium brush drop in blue in a random pattern leaving white areas like clouds. Wet the distant background and drop in watery pale green in random places, then drop in watery pale brown and blue in different places, then let the colors run together.
NOW LET THIS STEP DRY

SECOND WASH
With a small brush lay watery blue and paint in the shadows under the gazebo's roof and the far post.
With the small brush lay down some light orange-red for the roof.
Lay down yellow for the grass let the yellow dry and dry brush green in vertical rows for the lawn texture.
Put some grey-blue for the path.
Use a small brush to dabble green and a little blue and brown for the bushes.

THIRD WASH
After the red roof dries, use your smallest brush and make dark red; then, using the tip of the brush, draw the red tiles as short lines on the roof.
With the small brush, use blue and purple to draw the details of the gazebo by drawing the shadows of the structure.
Mix blue and red and paint the flagstones in the path; make sure they are larger nearby and smaller near the gazebo.

Sign your work about an inch from the bottom.

FIRST WASH
With clear water wet the background being careful to go around the leaves and the grapes. With a brush full of watery colors alternate dark blue, violet, and lavender in the top of the picture and light blues and violets in the bottom allow the colors to blend.
NOW LET THIS STEP DRY

SECOND WASH
Do the back leaves first by wetting them and laying down a green, add blue, and VERY LITTLE red to give it darkness and contrast.
Do the front leaves by wetting them then washing in yellow and adding green to the yellow. Let a few places of the yellow show.
NOW LET THIS STEP DRY

TAKE YOUR TIME WITH THE GRAPES
Do one grape at a time; use blue, lavender, and violet and a very little red. Mix the colors differently on each grape so that no grape touches another with the very same colors. In the darkest places add all the colors together. If they look too flat use clear water and tissue to lift out some color to give it highlights.

PRINTABLE ART LESSON PROJECT NOTES

Start by tracing the little design onto some 140 lb watercolor paper. This is the heavy paper that does not buckle.  If it is hard to trace try holding it against a window with the light coming through.You could scan the design and enlarge it but the watercolor paper is expensive so I suggest you may want to do the project in its original small size.

You may notice that the picture is loosely drawn without a lot of detail. Do not try to add detail at this stage, it is a painting you will add detail at the end.

GENERAL RULES
Do the lighter pale colors first.
Work from the background toward the foreground.
Work in alternating sections so one section dries while you are working on another.

FIRST WASH
With a large brush use light and dark watery blues for the sky, leave some areas white for the clouds.
While the sky is drying use a small brush and wash watery yellow for the foreground then not so watery orange and greens.

While the ground is drying us light brown and dark brown for the distant mountains, put a little blue into the dark brown while it is still wet.
Use watery green for the trees, and drop a little brown, and violet into the green for shadows. Remember some green is showing through the missing boards on the barn.
LET THIS DRY

SECOND WASH
With a small brush put in blue-grey streaks for the sides of the barn and fence.
Lay a wash of brown for the rusty parts of the roof and blue for the metal roof.
Use purple-black for the shadows inside.
NOW LET IT DRY

AFTER IT DRIES
With a small brush mix red-brown and draw streaks of brown down the sides of the barn.
Use the tip of the brush to "draw" in the details.
Mix a little darker red-brown and draw the rust streaks in the roof.
Mix a little darker green and give the trees and bushes details with small taps of the brush

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 sky in sections. With a small brush wet each section and drop in watery blue. Add a little violet to the upper sky and around the leaves. Let it flow and blend but not completely so there is movement and interest in the sky.
NOW LET THIS STEP DRY

SECOND WASH
Wet each leaf and drop in a little yellow and green. For the leaves behind other leaves use only green. Use red and brown to paint the branches. (We will go over the branches again later to make them darker.)
Use watery orange on the bird's tummy followed with a little red around the edge blend it along the edge with your brush.

THIRD WASH
The brown feathers take two steps. Use a light brown and black mixture that is more brown than black and give the feathers a watery wash so it is pale.
AFTER IT IS DRY use the tip of a small brush and use an almost dry mixture to DRAW the lines of the feathers. Mix mostly black brown for the head.
Use yellow for legs and beak.
Add another layer of brown and blue-black to the branches.

DETAILS
If the line for the beak is too small to use a paintbrush on then use a pencil after it is dry.
Mix darker colors as needed and use the tip of the brush to add lines in the leaves.

How To Paint a Picture of Fuchsia Flowers Worksheet

This is a printable art lesson and worksheet that is perfect for young artist. It will help to give a foundation for basic painting.

In this lesson, the background is muddy to give contrast to the brilliant green and red of the flower. I must admit that I think I might have made a mistake in choosing a dark background. I might try this again with just a light blue background, it would look pretty.

I made this worksheet as a handout to give my art students so they could take it home and practice painting on their own.

TRACE
Trace the design onto 140-pound watercolor paper, this is the heavy paper that will not buckle. If it is too thick to trace through place it against a window with the light shining through and then you should be able to trace it easily.

DO THE LIGHT COLORS FIRST.
The first layer of color should be watery. Mix a little yellow and green together and wash all the green areas including the background, We will build up darker layers on top of the light ones.

Be very careful not to get any color into the red and white flower.

LET THE FIRST STEP DRY.

SECOND WASH
For the darker greens in the leaves mix a tiny dot of blue with the green.
For the dark background mix blue, green, and red. In some places have more blue-green and in others have more red-green. Play around with it and use a lot of water to the colors blend so it looks like there is something in the dark background.

LET THE SECOND STEP DRY

Use a little light blue just for the shadows in the white part of the flower.

Use a small brush and take your time with the red paint. After you put down the red go back and use the very tip of your brush to draw the detail in the red. Use just a tiny touch of violet mixed with the red to give the shadows.
