This document provides instructions for a life drawing class that focuses on using color. It outlines exercises using ink to create monochromatic tonal scales and build up figures with washes of colored ink. Students will then use acrylic paint in different tones of one color to block in shapes and suggest forms over 45 minutes.

1. Life Drawing 5: Colour

2. Warm up: Quick Ink Drawing
3 x 5 mins
Use different translucencies of ink to suggest the figure.

3. Monochromatic Scale
Create a tonal chart in either blue ink or red ink.
Use water to create different translucencies to
create lighter tones and black to create darker
tones.
You should have at least 10 different tones.
Use this to refer to during the next drawing.

4. 45 mins
Use thin washes of coloured ink shapes to
build up the form of the figure.

5. Acrylic Painting
45 mins: use different tones of one colour to
block in shapes and suggest the form.
