This is the second painting lesson as part of a Halloween themed project that I taught at Yinhai Academy, Qingdao. The first lesson in the series was Pumpkin Painting (unfortunately lost with a server change).
The artistic aim of this lesson is to paint a zombie and the educational aims are: to think about the human form, to learn about mixing colours and to think about highlights and shadows.
This e-lesson is basically a walk through of the zombie picture painting process, starting with the equipment that is needed. I used chalk and acrylic paint on ordinary white paper.
Step 1: Chalk Outline
Step 2: Paint Skin (don’t make the colour too uniform; blotchy is good)
Step 3: Adding some key details
Step 4: Make your zombie decent by giving it some clothing
All three painting stages together
