Working with a Tri-Color Scheme

• You will be working with 3 colors that go together.

• Warm colors, cool colors, Monochromatic, Primary?

You will use the Ebony Pencil method to transfer your image onto the paper

• When tracing, TAKE YOUR TIME. The more precise you are with your lines, the better it will look when you paint it.

• It will not look right when you are close up, but when you step back, the image will look more realistic.

You will have 3 layers. Black, gray and light gray. (you also have white if you want to use that as another color. You will assign a color to each

layer.
