Painting Exercise Demonstration

The video tutorial demonstrates a painting exercise where students trace their hand on poster board, divide it into sections, and paint using different techniques. The setup involves preparing a paint palette with primary colors on paper towels. Students learn to apply unmixed colors, mix colors for even application, and blend colors to create gradients. The exercise concludes with painting a choice area and adding details. Cleanup instructions are provided, emphasizing the importance of not using water with tempera paint to avoid warping the paper.

What is the first step in the painting exercise?

• Mixing colors on the palette

• Choosing a background color

• Applying a base coat of paint

• Tracing your hand on the poster board

How should you apply unmixed colors to avoid streaks?

Why should you avoid adding water to tempera paint on paper?

• It will make the colors too vibrant
