Make a painting of objects using some pieces of fruit and other items from your home. Arrange them in ways that you like, just as Cezanne did. Look at the objects as you paint them. Mix colors in the center of your plate palette as shown in the previous video lesson. YOU BUILD BLOCKS OF COLOR
STUDENT GALLERY Ben age 9
Gather acrylic paints, a paper plate palette, round and flat brushes, paper, a water container, and a paper towel.
1. Select the main color of an object. Paint a few strokes onto the picture. Look for highlights and mix light colors into the main color on the palette. Place themixture next to the main color on the painting. Continue mixing colors into the main color on the palette and painting strokes beside each other on the painting.
2. Look for shaded (dark) areas. Mix a small amount of the darker color into the main color. With the paint on your brush, make strokes of color where you see the shaded areas. Continue using blocks of color on the next objects. Work until you are finished. Clean the brushes well.
