My 6-9 year old group created their gray tabby cats first using watercolor and charcoal. For a background twist, they looked at Mark Rothko's Color Field paintings and created their own with chalk pastels choosing color combinations to convey a certain mood.
Really like the grays against the soft color. I am starting pet portraits next week myself.
ReplyDeleteSince I am a "cat person," I am partial to anything cats. I love the neutral cats on the colored background. Also like the spots of color on eyes and nose -- such a unifying element!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, Mary...these are beautiful. I love the background!
ReplyDeleteKids and cats are a great combination. I have a grey tabby cat so I'm especially partial to these. Fabulous.
