Description

Have you ever wished you could draw?

Would you love to be able to draw AMAZING pictures you never thought possible?

With this course you'll learn to draw 3 amazing dog portraits by following our easy step by step videos.

Pick up and Learn

In my 30+ Years of Experience I have found that Pastel Pencils is the by far the easiest art medium to pick up and learn.

In this course you will learn how to draw 3 amazing dog portraits:

  • Black Labrador

  • German Shepherd

  • Spaniel

When you have finished this course not only will you walk away with 3 incredible paintings but you will also be able to apply what you have learnt to draw your own pictures.

Materials

For all pictures I use Clairefontaine PastelMat Paper, this is a fantastic pastel paper that can hold many layers. I choose to use the Dark Grey colour for the German Shepherd and Spaniel as it is a good neutral colour. I use Dark Blue for the Black Labrador as it is already a dark picture which this colour paper is good for.

You can choose to use the same paper as me or any other pastel paper you wish.  I also use Faber-Castell Pitt and Cretacolor Pastel Pencils and refer to these throughout the course. You can of course use any materials that you wish to use.

I would recommend this course for advanced level artists. Working with PastelMat paper and these subjects in particular are more difficult than my other courses. They also require more pencils.

If you are just starting out with pastel pencils let me not discourage you from giving these subjects a go, you will certainly learn a lot from the lessons and hopefully enjoy it as you do!

I provide you with an outline drawing for each subject so that you do not have to draw free hand. Trace this through to your paper using a graphite carbon or if you do like to draw free hand then you might like to try my Square Drawing method.

In the videos I walk you through step by step with Video instruction how to draw each stage. You'll learn techniques behind drawing dogs and create pictures you can be proud of.

I have broken the course down into bitesize chunks that you can follow and return to with ease.

If you love drawing and want to discover easy techniques to create stunning art that you can transfer to your own pictures then this course is for you.

Who this course is for:

  • Those that have tried Colin's other courses and want to try more challenging pictures
  • Students with some drawing experience wishing to use pastels
  • Artists that wish to learn Colin's self taught pastel pencil techniques in their own work
  • Advanced Level Artists
