Description

Do you wish you could create beautiful landscapes?

With this course you'll learn to paint 5 AMAZING landscapes using a set of just 12 Coloured Pencils and some blending solvent.

What are Coloured Pencils?

We've likely all heard of and used coloured pencils, but have you seen them used in way to create beautiful paintings such as these? With this course you will learn the fundamentals behind using coloured pencils in a unique way to create amazing works of art.

When you have finished this course not only will you walk away with 5 beautiful pictures but you will also be able to apply what you have learnt to draw your own work.

Materials

The Coloured Pencils I use are the 12 Set of Luminance coloured pencils by Caran d'Ache (yes you really only need this small set!). You can use another make however you might not get exactly the same results.

The colours in the 12 set are:

  • 009 Noir Black

  • 220 Grass Green

  • 470 Spring Green

  • 661 Light Cobalt Blue

  • 162 Phthalocyanine Blue

  • 159 Prussian Blue

  • 585 Perylene Brown

  • 061 Permanent Red

  • 571 Anthraquinoid Pink

  • 030 Orange

  • 240 Lemon Yellow

  • 001 White

The paper I use is light grey PastelMat Paper. It has a sandpaper like texture and if you don't have this you can use another similar textured paper like UART 800 Grade Paper.

Blending Solvent

They key to the amazing results you see in these pictures is a blending solvent. The one I use is Zest It and it's a great product for coloured pencil drawing.

Brushes

I use a selection of Round Brushes to apply the solvent such as Sizes 1, 2, 4 and 6.

Step by Step Instructions

I walk you through step by step with Video instruction how to draw each stage. You'll learn techniques behind painting beautiful landscapes and create pictures you can be proud of.

If you love art then this course is for you. With just a small amount of coloured pencils you will see the AMAZING effects you can get.

Let your coloured pencil journey start here!
