Year 4 Creating in Sketches - Can I use layering?


Picking one colour from your theme, use Sketches to create a layered image.

You may wish to experiment with different brush sizes and colours.

You can restart a few times and search for colours or gradient in the SEARCH in Unsplash.com


With Mr Dallas, you learned about

Changing tone for different layers

Recognising depth perception

In Sketches you will see a screen like this. Make your own Journal.

First try to paint with the water colour brush to get an idea. Change the brush size and opacity. Then paint your clouds.

Now try a new layer and paint your first set of mountains.

Layers in my image are:

1. Sky

8. Trees.

2. Moon

9. Tree and ledge to the right.

3, 4, 5, 6 ,7. Mountains

10. Birds.


11. River.
