Calendar Art - Turtles

We voted to grace our calendars this year with vibrant, semi-abstract turtles.  But first we met Roxy - Rm 14's treasured classroom pet.  We were fascinated at the way she approached and peered inquisitively back at us.  As we gently touched her shell, we noted the texture and wondered how we could create that in our artwork.

Soooo then out came the pastels and here's the results, each with their own personality.
The background was created with a water colour and salt sprinkled on the paper while the water colour dried.  The effect created a perfect water backdrop for our hard-shelled friends.
