Prepared ground

Description

A Bitesize guide to drawing on shaded or coloured paper.

Classroom Ideas

Students can practice this drawing technique for themselves. Set up a still-life collection of objects on each table for students to draw using the technique shown. Students should focus on tone and shade, noting how a prepared or coloured ground changes the look and feel of a drawing, compared to a plain white background.
