1. Sheep Project Tempera Paint

2. Divide circles into smaller shapes – use light pencil lines • Begin painting

3. Paint needs to be smooth, even, solid • Don’t paint over wet paint! It will lift!

4. Start adding patterns on top of dry, painted circles • I like to lightly sketch my patterns with pencil first, then outline with marker

5. Here’s what it looks like with all the patterns finished • Fill the space • Not too much black colored in – let the painted tints show through!

6. Now let’s sketch the head and legs • Use a kite shape for the head • Then round the edges • Add ears and googly eyes

7. Mix a pale orange and paint the face and legs • Add a bit more red and while base color is still wet, paint shadow color

8. Cut out the circles, head and legs • Glue to black paper, head in upper right corner, circles to left of head across the paper • Make a “fluffy” outline with colored pencil

9. Fill in space with “dots” of paint – dip dowel rods into paint and use like a stamp • Use different tints throughout
