Wrap heavy duty aluminum foil around a piece of 21.6 cm x 27.9 cm (8.5" x 11") card stock. Use masking tape to fasten it on the back.
Draw an underwater scene that includes things such as seaweed, coral, and fish on the aluminum foil using Crayola construction paper crayons and oil pastels.
Paint different shades of blue over the whole piece of aluminum foil using watercolour paints. The crayon and oil pastels will resist the paint.
Sprinkle salt on the picture while the watercolours are still wet. Salt will disperse and create a texture and bubble effect.
Draw a few shapes of underwater life, such as fish, starfish, a seahorse, and seaweed on a piece of cardstock paper.
Cut out the shapes.
Colour the shapes using construction paper crayons and/or oil pastels and then paint over them with watercolour paints.
Glue some small pieces of foam core board onto the back of the fish. (Or use foam adhesive circles.) These will raise the shape and make it feel more 3-dimensional on the picture. Be sure to place the small foam pieces all over the back of the fish.
Add some finishing touches with glitter glue.
