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)

Once completed, this board will have to be strengthened with timber supports at the back. Then cut out with a jig-saw. CLICK for the method of supports.
