Materials • Watercolor paper • Watercolors • Paintbrushes • Cup to hold water • Photo/image of subject • Pencils • Sharpies
Procedures • Choose a photograph or image from a magazine. • Crop your photograph, if needed, to make a good composition. • Choose 3-6 colors (next to each other) from the color wheel for your analogous color scheme. • Draw your image lightly with pencil on watercolor paper. • Start using watercolor paints, making sure you add enough water to each well before adding paint to your paper. • Colors do NOT need to be exact, but your image needs to look similar to the photograph. • Let dry on drying rack. • Use a sharpie to define edges and color changes in your painting.
