Art
We are delighted with our finished rainforest paintings taking inspiration from Henri Rousseau.
Our next layer involves painting the rainforest.
We used a finer brush to create detail.
We thought carefully how to create the tree and leaf effects by using different painting techniques and colour.
Painting 🖼️
We are painting in layers just like Henri Rousseau.
This is our first layer - the background.
We thought carefully about colour and the mood we want to achieve.
We used a larger brush to paint the background as it was a big space to fill.
To achieve a realistic sky effect we have used sweeping horizontal brushstrokes and stippling for the clouds.
