Monochromatic portraits

I am always amazed at the level of focus and engagement when it comes to this monochromatic portrait project.  I'm not sure if it is the excitement of blending paint to create tints and shades or not wanting to mess up their individual portrait, but this project continues to be a favorite across the board year after year.

The negative space around the portrait will be painted the complementary color of the face.  The final product is a stunning piece of art that leaves viewers oohing, aahing and asking "how did they make that?"  Music to an Art teacher's ears!
