Warhol Portraits A series of 8 self-portrait paintings with the following color schemes: 1. 2 complementary pairs (either: red and green or blue and orange or yellow and violet- pick 2 of these 3 groups) 2. These same colors in the same place mixed with white to create tints. 3. The same colors in the same place mixed with black to create shades 4. 4 analogous colors (4 colors next to each other on the color wheel) 5. A monochromatic color scheme (1 color plus black and white and all the tints and shades in between; such as white, light blue, blue, dark blue and black) 6. The 3 warm colors 7. The 3 cool colors 8. The 3 primary colors
Paint one portrait using 2 pairs of complements adjacent to each other.
Use the same color placement as the first painting, but use white to make tints
Tips: Don’t paint the eyes. Divide your portrait into 4 or 5 areas depending on the color scheme. You only need to paint part of each picture. They will be trimmed to 4” X 6”. Use the cardboard template. Fold a 12”X18” piece of colored paper in half like a book. Center one of the portraits on the fold. Leave a ½” gap between it and the next picture. Glue down all 8 paintings and label each one.
