Coloring Book Exercise

This week, I introduced my new
Coloring Book Exercise
(aka Pattern Painting)

The idea is to create a dynamic painting
by filling in large outlined shapes with flat color.
The fewer number of shapes the better. 
No modeling. No blending. 

My 20 minute demo

Note: These are the last of my tomatoes. 
They'll be sauce by the end of today.

This exercise is a great way to get students to stop 
blending! 

For more information, here is a link to my blog post 
from 2012 on the subject of Pattern Painting.
