Portraits of Florence Nightingale

Earlier this week, you found out about the famous lady, Florence Nightingale. Over the years, lots of people have drawn pictures of Florence.  A picture which focusses on a person, is called a portrait.

Look at these portraits of Florence Nightingale.  

Look carefully at the portraits, and choose one which you would like to copy.  Draw with pencil onto plain paper.  Then, you can either shade areas, like in the black and white pictures, or you could colour with coloured pencils.  You could even try using water-colour paints, if you have some.  

Try to add as much detail as you can, and make sure your portrait looks as similar to the portraits shown here, as is possible.
