AN OUTLINE GROUND ROW TO COLOUR-IN. |
||
Lay a sheet of 8' x 4' hardboard on a covered floor and seal it. (see "Making a Bush Construction" page for 'ingredients') It will probably take overnight to dry. Now prop it upright and project or transfer this drawing onto it. The ratio is designed for a sheet of hardboard, so you should be able to project to almost the full size of the board. Trace the outlines with a large, waterproof, felt pen. |

These outlines can now be coloured in. Below is just one idea of how it would look. Note the highlights and shadows (see "Thoughts on Colour and Painting" for details) |
