Wire Pinconnectors Kit

Firstly, sketch out what you would like to draw. It can be a copy of Monet's Woman with a Parasol, or you can create your own theme. We're going to draw a simplified version of Monet's work.

Finally, use your white gel pen to pick out the parts of the image that would be in brilliant sunshine, such as around the figure and on some blades of grass.

Using your camera, take several different photos until you're happy with the results and you have a good, strong light around the edge of your subject.

Blue watercolour paint, a wide bristle paintbrush, a white gel pen, brown paper, a pencil, coloured pencil and a pen that won't run when watercolours are applied.

Backlit artwork can be made in several ways, as it simply means the main light source is behind the subject, and is seen in both photography and fine art. The two most common forms of backlighting are a strong contrast between light and dark, usually created with an artificial light source, and a softer, lighter image which usually features natural light. These both create a border around the edge of the subject which almost make the subject appear to glow.

Tack your black backdrop to a wall and position your lamp directly behind your toy and your camera in front of it. This technique works best if the light is just visible behind your subject and if the rest of the lights in the room are turned off .

Next, using more concentrated lines in the brightest areas and more widely spaced lines in the darker areas, start to fill in the fur texture of the toy.

Pressing very lightly with your white pencil, sketch out your subject onto the black paper. You can use the Mammoth Memory grid method if you aren't confident drawing straight on.

This second project is based on Monet's use of backlighting with bright colours. This style uses natural light as opposed to harsh artificial light. For this project you will need:

A lamp, a black backdrop (large card or fabric will work) a plush toy to draw, black paper or card, a white pencil and your phone or a camera to take a photo.
