4-H: The grand finale

The last meeting of the 4-H watercolour club was held on July 16. Everyone started by gathering paints and paper. Once all members were settled down, Abby opened the meeting with the 4-H pledge.

Members watched a video on how to paint a bunch of flowers using plastic wrap to create lines or texture to the flowers. Next, members painted a summer sky using only 3 colours: Red, yellow, and blue. To make the clouds they had to mix all of the 3 colours together. This was to make a grey for the shadow of the clouds.

These dried as they worked on the flower paintings again. When they were dry, they peeled off the plastic wrap and added some final details such as leaves and stems. To wrap up this meeting, they watched a video on how to paint a tree. Abby closed the meeting with the 4-H motto.
