Step 3
- First, fill a tray with shaving foam filling enough area to cover the watercolour paper.
- For the watermelon, squirt red and pink paint on top of the shaving foam and swirl it using the end of a paint brush.
- Place a piece of A4 watercolour paper into the foam and paint mixture. Slightly push down to ensure all areas of the watercolour paper are covered.
- Take the paper out of the tray and scrape off the excess foam and paint with a ruler or something similar e.g., cardboard.
- Wash your tray and repeat the steps using green paint.
- Using the template cut out the 3 semicircles, the largest from green marbled paper, the middle size from white paper, the smallest size from red marbled paper and the seeds from black paper.
- Layer and stick the semicircles on top of each other. Stick the white on top of the green and the red on top.
- Stick the seeds on top.
- Repeat steps for the other fruits.
