Plunge into a sea of imagination in this whimsical, underwater-inspired art workshop! Surrounded by swirling currents of color and shimmering sea life, participants will explore the magical world of crayon resist as they create vibrant ocean scenes. From gliding fish to waving seaweed and coral reefs, young artists will bring their underwater visions to life using crayons and watercolor. This hands-on experience promises waves of creative fun for all ages. No scuba gear required—just bring your imagination and a splash of curiosity!
1. Design Your Ocean Scene (or use one of our prepared scenes)
Begin by sketching your underwater world on watercolour paper. Include elements like fish, seaweed, coral reefs, and waves.
2. Apply Crayon Resist
Using white or light-coloured crayons, trace over your pencil lines. The wax will resist watercolour paint, creating a beautiful contrast.
3. Add Watercolour Magic
Paint over your crayon-drawn scene with watercolour paints. Watch as the colours blend seamlessly, and the crayon lines emerge, revealing your underwater masterpiece.
4. Enhance with Details
Once dry, add final touches like glitter for a shimmering effect or additional details to bring your ocean scene to life.
Suitable for participants aged 5+
