Painting - Hagley Park is Daffodil Park

We have started on our next painting. We looked at a photo of the daffodils in Hagley Park.

Stage 1. Paint the sky and grass. Mix blue and yellow paint to make a great colour for the grass. Try and make the grass look like it is growing - short up and down brush strokes. How should we paint the sky?
Stage 2. Paint the trees. Notice that the trunks are the widest part, then the branches and then the twigs. Notice that the trees are not all growing on the horizon. Some of them are closer and seem bigger.
Stage 3. Go on a daffodil hunt at school to see what they look like up close. Use cardboard strips to make the stems and leaves of our daffodils.

Next Week - paint the yellow flowers.
