Kitah Daled’s Watercolor Portraits
The latest in Kitah Daled’s self-portrait exploration are watercolor portraits. The children were each given a sheet of watercolor paper, a watercolor palette, a paint brush, and a mirror.
Morah Jessica passed out paper towels to each of the children and jars of water for the children to share. She showed the children how to rehydrate the paints and rinse their brushes before switching to a new color.
Many of the children depicted their image in a fantasy colors scheme rather than a realistic portrait.
They enjoyed creating sort-of animated versions of themselves with brightly colored hair and skin.
