Sheep Project Tempera Paint

Divide circles into smaller shapes – use light pencil lines Begin painting

Paint needs to be smooth, even, solid Don’t paint over wet paint! It will lift!

Start adding patterns on top of dry, painted circles I like to lightly sketch my patterns with pencil first, then outline with marker

Here’s what it looks like with all the patterns finished Fill the space Not too much black colored in – let the painted tints show through!

Now let’s sketch the head and legs Use a kite shape for the head Then round the edges Add ears and googly eyes

Mix a pale orange and paint the face and legs Add a bit more red and while base color is still wet, paint shadow color

Cut out the circles, head and legs Glue to black paper, head in upper right corner, circles to left of head across the paper Make a “fluffy” outline with colored pencil

Fill in space with “dots” of paint – dip dowel rods into paint and use like a stamp Use different tints throughout
