Fantasy animals & watercolours
From secret boxes, word labels are drawn to form new imaginary animals in the water town. First you sketch your imaginary animals, then you draw carefully and paint with watercolours on watercolour paper. Finally, you could use some white acrylic paint and paint flashes in the water.

Great colours and good brushes are promised.

Who knows, maybe there will be a break in the middle with a secret drawing exercise.

#allatecknar is organised in collaboration with Konst i Blekinge.
