Today, we are all going to be artists! What better to celebrate summer than with a refreshing slice of watermelon! Here is what you need to create your own work of summer art!
Project Difficulty: Beginner
Materials:
- Watercolor Paint Pallets

Additional Materials:

- Plastic Cup of Water
Directions:
- Pick a brush that you feel comfortable using. I started with the red brush.
- Dip the brush in water and add water to the red watercolor paint.
- Paint a wide "u" shape in the center of the paper. Paint a line across the top opening connecting the openings.
- Paint the inside of the with the red paint. Add more water to the paint as needed.
- Next add water to the light green paint and paint a boarder around the watermelon. Only paint around the "u" shape of the watermelon.
- Paint another border around the light green paint with a darker green paint.
- Let the paint dry.
- Use the black colored pencil to draw seeds in the watermelon.
- Use the colored pencils to write "Happy Summer" or a message of your choice above and below the watermelon.

Let the painting dry and then put it in a frame or hang it on the fridge!
