Let's Get Started:
Draw the outline of a peacock’s body side-on (without a tail) on your paper using the black marker.
Create the Background:
Squirt a line of Yellow Super Tempera across the top of your page. Use your finger to spread the yellow paint around, covering the top part of your page to make a sunny background. Leave the bottom part of the page unpainted.
Make the Peacock’s Feathers:
Put a little Yellow and Blue Super Tempera on the card and mix them together to create a greenish-blue colour. Use your fingerprints to make the feathers of the peacock’s tail. Add some lines through the feathers with your finger for texture.
Add Colourful Feathers:
Use Blue Super Tempera to add some blue feathers on top of the green ones. Then, add Red and Yellow Super Tempera feathers in the same way.
Create the Ground:
Squirt a line of Yellow, Blue, and Red Super Tempera across the bottom of your page. Use your fingers to blend these colours together to create a vibrant ground.
Add Details:
Use your fingernails to paint plants and finer details. The green you mixed earlier can be used for bushes or grass. If you’re feeling adventurous, try adding a tree and branches!
