Paint a dream image and write a poem to go with it.

Try to paint a dreamy picture with water colours or acrylics. Look at this picture or Monet’s work for ideas. Use lots of water allowing the paint to move together to create multi coloured effects. The sky can merge with the sea. Sometimes just use a watery brush with no paint at all.

Can you put a little boat into the picture? It’s best to use thick paper or card to soak up the water.

Share your words and pictures so that we can learn from each other.

Here is a poem to give you some ideas:

Towards paradise
The horizon calls, washing us in rainbows,
We are happily lost in amazement on the dreamy open sea,
The drama is over as we drift across the crystal clear ocean,
The nightmare ends, new life begins,
I hold you close, the friendly sun sets
The colours fold themselves to sleep
