Before you get started

• Prior to starting the project, prime a large
  piece of paper so its dry by the time youre
  ready to draw and paint!

10
Step 1 Cropping the Image

• Select your picture and crop it down to size
• Keep in mind that its easier to work with an
  even measurement like 6x8 rather than something
  like
• 6 5/16 x 7 1/8

11
Cropping

• Make sure your cropping is straight and is also
  the correct measurement by using your ruler and
  following instructions!!!

12
Step 2 Cut out your image

• After you are SURE your image is correctly
  measured out, cut it out with scissors and
  discard the rest so you may focus on the section
  of the image you chose.

13
Step 3 Defining Values

• Use a ballpoint pen (preferably colored ink) to
  outline each of the different gray values found
  in your photocopy.

14
Step 4 Applying the grid

• Use your ruler to measure out your grid squares
  in equal increments, depending on the size of
  your cropped image. ½, 1, 2, 1 ½, are
  examples of some easy-to-work-with grid square
  sizes.
• Make sure you follow directions and get the grid
  squares even!

15
Step 5 Grid your paper

• Use your ruler to grid your paper
• You must have the same amount of grid squares on
  your canvas as is on your cropped image
• You will have to enlarge the squares to a
  different measurement

16
Step 6 Contour Grid Drawing

• Use the grid to lightly draw in your image.
• You will do a contour drawing following the lines
  you have made on your photocopy defining the
  different grey values.

17
Your drawing should look something like this
before you start painting
18
And will end up looking something like this using
monochromatic colors
19
Step 7 Mix one tint or shade at a time, and
start painting either the darkest or lightest
values.

• You can see how each gray value on your photocopy
  will transfer to a different tint or shade of the
  color you choose in your painting.

• Write your name and period number on your paper
  and prime it with gesso if needed.
• Start with step 1 (cropping your image) and
  FOLLOW DIRECTIONS from there.
• Have fun!!!
