We also discussed about sea creatures, what are the water vehicles. Then we discussed about scuba divers, the special suits they wear and how they travel under water. We discussed  about ocean, coral, reef, sea anemone, wreck and many more.
First I held the scale to make  outline on the sketch sheet, then I just told him where and how to draw.
Then he had drawn a pebbles at the bottom of the sheet, I didn’t hold his hand at all, then had drawn coral reef on top of the pebbles.Then he had drawn bubbles in between two fish.

After done with the drawing, he started colouring the background, we just partitioned in to three. For the first portion he coloured with sky blue, then second portion with dark blue and the lower part with the purple.

Then coloured pebbles with yellow ocher and coral reef with lite green.
Before blending it was like this

He blendedcolours, his fingers are still tiny for such work, he couldn’t do it, so I offered him old cloth for blending and I was holding his hand when he needed.
Final outcome after blending.
He learned new technique here , how to blend.

I feel it’s pretty good.


Happy parenting !!❤️
