YOU MAKE A COLORED GROUND PICTURE
STUDENT GALLERY Nathan age 6
Gather an oil pastel set and colored construction paper.
Sofonisba made portraits of her family members and later she made portraits of family members of the Spanish court. In the student work, Nathan made a picture of himself and his twin brother. It’s time for you to make a picture of your family. You can include brothers, sisters, parents, or grandparents. Draw with oil pastels on colored paper.
Light colors stand out on colored or dark paper. The paper is our background. It’s what is behind the subjects. Using colored paper adds greater contrast between light colors of the pastels and the darker color of the paper. Don’t forget to use the white pastel in this picture! It’s sure to make your artwork stand out and be noticed!
