Details to Color in RBG Portraits
The portrait section captures her distinct look. Her traditional black judicial robe provides a dark background that makes her intricate lace collars stand out. Colorists can use fine-tipped markers or gel pens to highlight the delicate patterns in the lace.
For the quote pages, adults and older students can experiment with metallic colors for the lettering. These designs often feature her iconic oversized glasses, which can be shaded to look like tortoiseshell or thick black frames. In the courtroom scenes, you will find gavels, heavy law books, and the impressive architecture of the bench. Use muted browns and deep reds to create a realistic wood-paneled background.
