Peacock Feathers

Posted on August 9, 2015 | 14 Comments

The colors in this leaf print remind me of peacock feathers:

I printed my leaves with acrylic paints. I then decided to experiment and combine watercolor, crayon resist and water soluble markers.

I would not have thought of combining these techniques if I had not taken Carla Sonheim’s FREE Art classes for Kids!

I started playing and had so much fun!

I have found a new way to create papers for my collages!

I just love the bright colors!

I also had to make a bird!

Happy Creating! 🙂

It does look like peacock feathers!! Way to go, Jill! Leaf prints would be cool to try. Can’t wait for fall! Would you like me to feature your bird in our Draw A Bird day recap this month? 💛

  Thanks Laura! I did kind of miss the deadline of Sat – but you can include my bird if you want to. 😊 The Towbow markers were fun to play with here!
