Line, Shape & Landscape Start with a horizon line In the FOREGROUND, use lines and shapes to create a row of pumpkins along bottom of page Using OVERLAP and SIZE, create the illusion of a field filled with pumpkins, stopping once you reach the horizon line.
Line, Shape & Landscape Include DETAILS, such as stems, if you wish. Include other objects in the field if you wish, such as trees, a fence, a scarecrow…
Session Two… COLOUR & Paint Routines
Line, Shape & Landscape Use Crayola “WASHABLE” markers to add a THICK outline of colour around the edge of the pumpkins Go over the marker with a watery brush to dilute and blend the colours
Line, Shape & Landscape BACKGROUND… Consider the effect you want (time of day, weather, mood…) and choose colours accordingly. Wet the ‘sky’ or background portion of paper, avoiding areas you’d like to stay white. Apply watercolour in watery wshes.
