I had link I saved from a blog that had the first 5 or so pictures which I used for reference when we did it last year. But they didn't post more.

I wish I'd have known about the tape though. We had issues with rolling so we taped the corners only and I bought heavier paper.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! we just finished unit 1 today and I was so lost. I'm not artsy at all :D The direction were simple so we followed them and it turned out fine. But after seeing it step by step I think I understand how to use the paint better :D Maybe you can post all the art projects! :wink:

WOW That's fantastic. I'm going to bookmark this to refer back to when we do CtoC next year. Both you and Miss Sunshine did a beautiful job.

Ok here is our version of Unit 2 Idiots guide to water color painting.
This time there are lots of pictures of the kids working. So you can see how a child does the same project. :)
Glad to see so much interest in how to do this stuff, were having a blast!

In this one we show you examples of how to fix errata in your paintings. Don't worry a mis-stroke is not disaster! It's an opportunity to be creative.
