Watercolour Silhouette Pictures

We’ve been working on some water colouring skills, especially with blending colours. To practise we have been making some watercolour silhouette pictures.

Make sure that you follow my painting board on Pinterest for more ideas. Don’t forget to save the pin for later.

To make your own watercolour silhouette pictures you will need:

Watercolour paper
Picture print outs
Pencil
Paint brush
Water
Watercolour paints

We found some pictures online of animals to print out and then cut them out. Next draw around the outline of your pictures. It you are really good at drawing you could always draw you picture free hand.

Cover the background area with water.

Load your brush up with paint and start to spread it onto the wet areas. The paint should start to spread around the wet area of the paper. Use your paint brush to help blend the different colours together to create your desired affect. Adding water to an area can also help to blend colours together if the paper has become too dry.

We made some really lovely pictures to put up in the playroom, even BB had a go at making a watercolour silhouette pictures.

If you enjoyed making these watercolour silhouette pictures be sure to check out my tape art and process art foil painting.

Heelys Rolls Into Spring With New Collection

Heelys, the original two-in-one wheely shoe launched in 2000, is preparing for the upcoming Easter holidays with its new spring collection. Ideal for encouraging an active, healthy lifestyle, the stylish designs will ensure kids (big and small) will roll through the holidays with ease.

The collection consists of 19 designs, including three brand new Heelys shapes: Reserve Ex, Reserve Low and Pro 20 Half Flood. The Reserve Ex has a basketball shoe style, while the Reserve Low and Pro 20 Half Flood tap into the current Y2K trend for an extra chunky sole.

Match your Heelys to your mood, with designs split across two main aesthetics – a darker colour scheme vs. a lighter, spring-inspired palette. Think camouflage print, graffiti text and paint drips contrasting with pastel colours, tie-dye, metallic laces, foil and rainbow print.

Available in the UK and Europe on the Heelys website and retailers, the collection is available in sizes C12-7 across single or two-wheeled styles. RRPs range from £49.99 to £69.99.
