SWBAT:

• Use previously learned watercolor techniques (wet on wet, graduated wash, variegated wash, dry on wet, wet on dry,  dry on dry, and color mixing in a palette)

• Practice close looking at line, value, color, and form with a provided reference image.

• Use directional brushstrokes to create the illusion of 3D form

1. Follow the steps above again on the second apple while your first apple is drying

1. Reapply water to the top of the apple if needed

2. Mix water into the yellow paint so that it is fairly watery

2. Mix more of the red if needed

3. While looking at your reference image, paint the areas you see that should be opaque red.
