The document provides instructions for a three stage mixed media art assignment. It includes directions to first paint with transparent washes using wet-in-wet techniques. Second, draw with ink on top of the washes. Third, add opaque white paint on top of the ink drawing. Reference is made to the works of artists Helen Frankenthaler and Mark Rothko. Techniques for brush and ink drawing are also discussed such as controlling value through dilution and using a variety of line qualities.
