Part 1 - Use a large sheet of paper to complete a series of continuous line portraits [watch the artist models videos above]. Use a family member or work from your phone/mirror

• Start with blind [look at subject only] continuous drawings of about 90 seconds each and then move to modified contour [looking at both paper and subject].

• these drawings should be at least the size of your hand and do not worry if they overlap - fill the entire page with portrait drawings

Part 2- Use an A4 viewfinder to select a part of your larger sheet that is an interesting composition.

• Redraw this to A3 paper [wet strength].

• Use this time to strengthen some lines to create visual interest.

• You may also add in details you may have missed BUT keep it as continuous line!

Part 3 - use indian ink to add washes of greys to the faces.

• Use mid to light grey inside the face and mid to dark for hair and background

Part 4 - Use colour dye/watercolor to add blocks of colour to individual shapes created by the continuous line

• think about warm/cool colours and complementary colours. Apply the colour OVER THE TOP of the greyscale of the indian ink... don't try to "fill in the gaps"

Part 5 - Go over your lines with sharpie - keep the lines continuous and loose
