Start with drawing vertical lines with a permanent marker. Approximately 9 - 10 vertical lines per panel. (Do not outline the pencil lines - these are the cut lines).
Start at the top edge or slightly below. The lines do not have to go all the way down to the bottom edge.
You can brake some of the lines. Hold the marker at a slight angle and draw the lines slowly - this way you will get a consistent thickness of the lines.
Next step is to unite the three panels together by drawing a few lines across all three of them.
A good number is 3.
Make them curve too.
Now work at drawing one panel at a time.
Draw short horizontal lines (straight and curved) between 2, 3, 4 or 5 vertical lines:
Before you start painting - cut the panels:
Next part is very important. You pick a DOMINANT COLOR.
(I chose blue-green in this example).
Use this color for all 3 panels. So mix plenty of it.
panel 1 - Complimentary color scheme (blue-green and red-orange in this example)
panel 2 - Monochromatic color scheme (values of blue-green in this example)
panel 3 - color scheme of your choice (triadic with 1 split in this example: blue-green, yellow, purple)
Start painting the middle panel (Monochromatic color scheme).
All you need is your dominant color that you mixed plus Black and White.
Fill in the shapes in the panel. More variety of values you have - the better.
Don't forget to include sections of pure color, then tints, shades and tones.
Stay within the lines.
After the paint dries - go over the lines with a Sharpie again.
Use complementary colors for the next panel.
Mix an opposite color and paint in the sections of different values of the two complementary colors.
I used: blue-green and red-orange
Repeat the same steps with the last panel.
Choose one of the options: split 1, split 2, or split 3.
triadic (split 1)
triadic (split 2)
triadic (split 3)
I chose 2-split triadic color scheme
blue-green, yellow, and purple
Mix the colors that you are going to use for the last panel.
Paint in the same way that you painted the other two panels.
When done - arrange them on a black board 1/2" apart.
Please include your worksheet with your notes indicating the color schemes you used and particular colors.
