  • 6 of 16: It's a shame we're not painting onto the screen.
  • 7 of 16: You need to shine the image onto the canvas instead.
  • 8 of 16: Set up your easel and canvas, then rotate the base of the projector until it points your father's visage onto the canvas.

  • 10 of 16: In order to paint it, you need to choose the correct shades of black, white, and gray to create a faithful likeness of the black-and-white projection.
  • 11 of 16: It's fairly obvious which shades to use.
  • 12 of 16: His hair is clearly black. So, use the black paint on the hair.
  • 13 of 16: His shirt is clearly white. So, use the white paint on the shirt.
  • 14 of 16: The darkest shade of gray should be used on the shadowed area. Use it on his jaw line and chin.
  • 15 of 16: The middle gray is used on the bottom half of his face -- his stubbled area. Use it on his upper lip.
  • 16 of 16: The light gray fills in the rest of the gaps -- use it on his forehead to fill the rest of the face.
