We also chose to have the eye color be more realistic instead of including it in the grid colors. The only distinction with ours is that Chloe chose her facial colors to be more true to life colors than Jayden or Ava did. You can choose to pick by warm/cold, complimentary, or perhaps just a random choice like my 3 children did. You have to divide the photo by background, hair, face/neck, shoulders/body. Ava and Jayden are tracing their outlines, while Chloe has moved on to choosing colors, and coloring her grid. You can see the progress in the photo below. We traced our outline with black permanent marker instead of color pencil to ensure that it would not smudge or run when we started working with our colored pencils. Then we taped 3 things together: the grid paper on the bottom, with carbon copy paper next, and then their photo that they wanted to transfer on the top.Īfter tracing just the large scale outlines of their shoulders, hair, and major facial features (like eyes, bottom part of their nose, and mouth), we then removed the portraits and carbon paper to reveal the outline. We then had to hand draw a grid on our 9×12 drawing paper (because you can’t print on 9×12 paper from our printer). I actually only did Chloe and Jayden, but then Ava wanted to join in so I just found a photo of her I had already taken for her to work with.Īfter taking their photos, I printed black and white 8x10s of each one. We began by taking a head shot of each one of the kids. Each of our children completed a Chuck Close Portrait of themselves. She definitely preferred having the faces appear to be more realistic in their skin tone colors. This second portrait is done in a similar style, and happens to be more along the lines of Chloe’s finished project. This first one is where we are going to begin our project. I found children’s art inspired by his work and thought it would make a great project for us to do. ![]() This month for art our focus is American painter, photographer, and print maker Chuck Close.
