Sailboat drawing as a watercolor resist project

As an art teacher, I love having students draw and paint simple sailboats because it teaches so many important skills. The boat’s shapes help them practice balance and symmetry, while the scene itself sparks imagination about travel and adventure. It’s also a perfect way to introduce watercolor techniques, like watercolor resist and layering ocean blues, in a fun and approachable project.
