YOU MAKE A PORTRAIT
STUDENT GALLERY Merriah age 9
Gather gouache paints, a pencil, round and flat brushes, watercolor paper, a palette, a water container, and a paper towel.
You just looked at a painting of people and a puppy that Manet saw at a railway station. Who are the people around you and what do they do? With a pencil, draw yourself, a family member, or someone you see. You may want to include a pet. Then, paint your picture with gouache paint. You’ll be using subjects from everyday life just like Manet!
Set up your gouache paint set and everything you need, as shown in the first video. Dip the brush in water, and then into the paint color that you wish to use. Apply the color directly to your picture.
