RT START Start Art 5 34 www.painters-online.co.uk Using a few basic colours and what you have learned so far, let’s paint a quick sketch in colour. Amanda is from a family of 13 beautiful children. They are all very gracious about being painted and are quite used to the constant snapping of cameras. 1 Begin the drawing Use the No. 2 pencil to draw Amanda. Draw the dark shape, but do not draw the light shape (you don’t want the pencil lines along the white edges to show later) Demonstration 2: Quick sketch with colour Reference photo You will need… SURFACE 8 10in. (20 25cm) watercolour board WATERCOLOUR • Burnt sienna • Ultramarine deep BRUSHES No. 8 and 10 round OTHER No. 2 pencil White eraser Less defined shapes Amanda is Ashriel’s sister. The shadow and light shapes are not quite as obvious in this photograph as are the shapes in Ashriel’s photograph. You will have to use your imagination to link the white shape from the hat to the shoulder Value study The shadow shape in this value study is linked down the front of the face to the neck. The dark shape on the face is linked to the hat by adding some darks as shadows. The lights are linked by adding light to the hat and ear to connect to the light on the neck
