1. Trace a circle on the watercolor paper

2. Draw the stem:

4. Draw 8 lines that come from the stem and curve them down to the edge of the circle:

5. Cover every pencil line with glue and let it dry:

6. Outline around the glue with a thin sharpie:

7. Paint! We did wet on wet to blend the colors. I had the students paint one section at a time and add yellows, oranges and reds!

8. When the paint is dry, add some contour lines with sharpie by outlining interesting paint shapes.
