Castle on the Hill
For the "Castle on the Hill" template, have students create a royal castle perched high on a hill with winding paths and blooming gardens below. Using watercolors and ink, they can blend soft washes of color for the sky, hills, and gardens, then add fine line details to define the castle's towers, gates, and pathways. Encourage them to include touches like stone walls lined with flowers, flags waving in the breeze, or a gentle stream flowing through the garden.
Suggest adding a background with rolling hills, distant mountains, or a sunny horizon to complete the scene. They can create their own art using the ready-to-draw template or the 8-inch circle art template we offer. Remember, no glitter, fluorescent colors, or highlighters. This project allows students to explore the beauty of combining soft watercolor effects with precise ink details, bringing their royal vision to life.
