The document provides instructions for a painting exercise using monochromatic and analogous colors. It involves mixing three shades from a single color or three analogous colors on the color wheel. The shades are then painted in circles from lightest to darkest. Squares are painted with the darkest shade as the base layer. Then medium and light shades are layered on top of each other with brush strokes to create texture, allowing the underlying colors to show through. The process is repeated for analogous colors.
