Requirement
4. Render one subject in four media
Required
A subject of your choice, four ways, from pen and ink, watercolors, pencil, pastels, oil paints, tempera, acrylics, charcoal, and computer drawing or painting.
Notes and warnings
Tip. Choose the four media by what you can get. Pencil, pen and ink, and computer drawing need very little; oil paints need the most. It is the same subject each time, so pick one you will not tire of.
