CLASS TASKS

Please share the following in the Class Project Gallery:

A picture of the photo that you are going to work from.
Your simplified image with threshold.
Your final portrait.

STEP 1:

In this step we will be simplifying your photo to get it ready to use.

STEP 2:

We'll be using a light box to trace your printed image onto your watercolor paper.

STEP 3:

We'll mask out all the white areas in on your image.

STEP 4

Step 4 is all about painting your image with your favorite color.

STEP 5:

Is the big reveal! You'll remove the masking fluid to show your finished portrait.

Don't forget to share your initial photo, your simplified image and your finished portrait in the project gallery. I am always happy to give feedback and encourage students to share constructive feedback among the group.

Happy Painting!
