These Ink Tree Creatures are a fairly quick and fun project. I get he children to start by adding some masking fluid to the watercolour paper (A3) with a brush. Some swirls and stars mostly. Once dry the wash the background with some inks to resemble the sky or sun setting. They then peel off the masking fluid - always fun! Then comes the most fun part. Using some black ink, wash the ground and then create a thick tree trunk. Use a drinking straw to blow blobs of ink to create branches. leave this to dry and then create some woodland creatures to sit in or around the tree out of coloured card.
