Quick Painting Trick
How do professional illustrators create paintings so fast? Well, grids, projection, light tables: there all great but sometimes the easiest fix is to just print out your photograph and paint on top of it. I used this technique to teach students how to convert colors of an image to just primary and secondary colors. (makes images much brighter and teaches color mixing) This was my example.

Do you have more specific directions? I would love to do this for my junior high students.
