Easter Bunny Art Lesson Easter Bunny in Tulips Watercolor Painting Art Project

This Easter Bunny in Tulips Art Lesson guides students step by step through drawing a bunny portrait surrounded by blooming tulips, outlining it in permanent marker, and painting it with watercolor. Students sketch the bunny's head, expressive eyes and fluffy fur texture, then add tulips, leaves, a bow tie and decorative background line work.

It is made for elementary art classrooms, homeschool art, spring art units and substitute plans. The structured drawing steps help students succeed, while they still choose their own colors and backgrounds, and they learn how artists use line, shape, texture, color and composition in illustration.
