Hand Line Art

Our Very First Lesson!


Almost 2 years ago, Crafty Girl's friends came over for the first ever art lesson.  All of the girls were extremely keen, so we met monthly which quickly became fortnightly.  The group started with five, it did grow to seven but is now a group of six. 

So, our first lesson was kept simple with a twist.  Some were completed, some were too excited to complete them.

The art class task for today:

1.  Trace your hand onto a large piece of paper, with fingers apart slightly.

2.  Make the tips of the fingers pointed.

3.  Add slightly curved strokes to each finger, to represent individual trees or branches.

4.  Add leaves.

5.  Go over all the outlines in black pen.

6.  Colour in.

7.  Add a background.

Here are the results.
