Roberto Mamani Mamani Sun
When bold color is called for, crayons can really deliver. Some striking color gradations are possible too!
Roberto Mamani Mamani’s work reflects his Aymara heritage, connecting students to global cultures while encouraging self-expression.
This drawing of a sun, in his style, is a great way to try out his love of gradated color, with just some careful crayon coloring.
