Self Portraits with Watercolor

The tutorial is here.

Day 1: Get your photo back and take it to a window. You will trace everything that you want to be white lightly with a pencil. Sign your first or last name in large-ish cursive.

Day 2: Mrs. C will give you some masking fluid in a water bottle cap. Use a paint brush to carefully paint in the white areas and also trace over your name.

Day 3: Tape your work down, and paint over your entire sheet with water. You don't want puddles, you just want a damp page. Next you'll start painting with color. Use colors next to each other on the color wheel.

Day 4: Peel off the masking fluid and erase your pencil lines. Untape your work.
