Okay, so it's not Winter yet, but it sure feels like it! I love bare trees and whenever I see them, I think of Harry Callahan's
Chicago Lake Front photograph. This was a fun project that I also did last year with LE. You can learn the technique from Crayola's website
here. Students painted a gray background first and left the bottom of the paper unpainted for the snow. Then they took black tempera paint and blew it into multiple branches through a straw. They were required to place trees in the foreground, middle ground and background.

LOVE these!
ReplyDeleteI love the look of winter trees, too, and all kinds of snowscapes. These look great.
