Tempera painting - Florida endangered animals

Choose one or more of your Florida endangered animal images. Create an exciting composition using your images in a Florida background.  Sketch in sketchbook to plan your composition. Then sketch lightly on provided watercolor paper.  Use your in-class self-made color wheel to assist you in mixing the correct colors. 

Begin painting the background first.  This is usually the sky or whatever is at the top of the picture plane. Next, the middle ground, and finally the foreground. This sequence will avoid problems of overlapping. Keep in mind that different compositions can dictate the sequence of painting. Look at your composition and determine your plan before you start painting.

Please use a bare minimum of 3 values of color for everything to achieve a modeling effect or a 3D effect.  Keep in mind the size relationship of your images to each other. Be very careful with the black tempera paint- a little goes a long way. Good luck!
