This is so easy and turns out so lovely.  It is a guided drawing using white oil pastels and then painted with tempera paints.  The last step uses a metallic paint pen.


Step One:  Draw a large oval that almost fills your paper.

Step Two:  Draw another circle inside the big circle.

Step Three:  Draw straight lines between the two circles.

Step Four:  Draw a straight line down the middle of the inner oval.

Step Five:  Draw four triangles but this time make the line curve like the shell.

Step Six: Draw a half oval for the head of the turtle.  Add two eyes.

Step Seven:  Add four legs using curved lines.

Step Eight:  Paint in the different sections of the turtle.  Do not paint the background.

Draw a tail with a little triangle!

Step Nine:  Add gold and silver dots!
