●

Collect/ find images of plants and flowers to use for the main subject of this work. Ideally, consider setting up your own flower arrangement, take some photographs using a range of angles/ view-points.

● Choose one of your images/ photo’s to use for the main subject of your work.

A2: Colour Scheme Painting Task 2: Practice

●

After deciding which of your ideas you will use for your main outcome, using a new full-page in your sketchbook, create a ‘prep’ piece. This should be a practice, smaller version of what your intended final work will/should look like.

●

Try to be as accurate as possible, and use water-colour paints ‘effectively’ for higher marks.

● Remember to use ‘good’ process/ technique, for example working from the background towards the foreground, using a range of tones, and including fine line using stronger colour/ tone for the details. ● Use/ apply the colour scheme that you chose throughout your work. ● If you are unsure about your results, try using an alternative colour scheme and/or subject/ image.

A2: Colour Scheme Painting Task 3: Final Outcome ● After you complete your ‘prep’ work, you should then be ready to commence work on your final/ main outcome. ● Collect a sheet of A3 (size) paper. ● Draw a 1cm border around the inside edge of the paper, and add a title, date and your name/ class name. ● Lightly sketch-out your work, working directly from your ‘prep’ piece. ● Improve the sketchy line by adding/ using a sharper harder line. ● Remove your previous sketchy lines. ● Add paint/ colour using ‘good’ process/ technique. ● This final outcome should take approx 2-3 lessons to complete in full. Take your time, be careful and accurate.
