Painting by M

For the Mother’s Day project in Miranda’s class, there was an artist in residence, local artist Frances Alty-Arscott, guiding the children.  M said she first drew the picture in pencil, then traces over the pencil with wax crayon, then painted with water colours.  Lastly she added sugar/sand/salt (I can’t remember which one she said – it was something grainy) to add texture.
