Handpainted “Etchings”

Handpainted “Etchings”I found a great website that has tons of FREE art to download, and every picture looks like an old etching. If you paint over printouts lightly with watercolor, you can get a very pretty handpainted effect.
My school has a Diversity Day celebration every spring, and I need some quick art projects representing many different countries. Irecently stumbled upon http://etc.usf.edu/clipart/ and was thrilled! There are 47,000 images all made for teachers to download, and they are all tagged so it’s easy to search for whatever you need. This picture was painted by 4th graders who chose Germany as their theme. I love the old-fashioned look them, and the students seemed to really enjoy just concentrating on their painting skills.
