Before you begin this project, you may want to practice cactus with me here...

Step by Step
(click to make bigger)
more examples below...
With Pencil, create a horizon line toward the bottom of your paper.
It can be straight, crooked, hilly or rocky.
Draw 3 or more cacti that use contour line.
(above left used grey marker, above right used #2 pencil and blendy stump)
(above used grey colored pencil)
If your feeling like something different,
Shade with (not color) a colored pencil.
Outline cacti with a permanent marker.
Now, using a grey marker or a shading pencil, make one side of your cacti darker.
Use a stump if necessary with the pencil.
Use shading techniques (hatching, crosshatching, stippling or scribbling with marker).
(above left used watercolor pencil,
above right used
Use your favorite watercolor technique on the sky. Do not get any color in the cacti.
Your choices are watercolor pencils, maker explosion or watercolor palette.
if you choose to go over cactus with the marker burst technique,
I would choose lighter colors as to not hide all the details.

Before and after water.
This can also be done with younger grades.
Picture above done by 2nd grader.
