Wolf Kahn inspired sunsets
Winter
sunsets are so magical. I feel blessed every time I get to observe
them. The other day, we were driving with my mom and the sunset was
so spectacular we had to stop our car and admire the magic. "I feel like I'm in a Wolf
Kahn painting right now" she whispered, and I immediately knew, we have to try and
paint it.
We
used Faber-Castell's Gelatos for the background. They are like crayons, but you can blend them with water. This way you get that
watercolor feeling, but the colors stay bright.
While
observing the sunset, the kids noticed, that everything in front of it
looks black. So we took a piece of black card and drew trees and houses
on it. We cut them out and glued them to the dried background.
The
paintings turned lovely! I love the contrast between black objects and bright backgrounds. They really have the feel of a Wolf Kahn paintings.
Magical!
