Requirements

  • Selection of Pastel Pencils (Faber-Castell is what Colin uses and refers to - see our introduction lecture for full materials breakdown)
  • Pastel Paper - Colin uses Sand Coloured Fabriano Ingres Paper
  • Colour Shaper Blending Tool (We recommend to have a grey chisel size 2 shaper at least. See the materials lecture for more information on shapers)

Description

Have you always wanted to be able to draw?

Would you love to draw pictures you can be proud of and say "I did that!" ?

With our courses you will learn to draw AMAZING pictures that you never thought possible.

We'll be using Pastel Pencils which in my opinion is by far the easiest art medium to pick up and learn.

With this course you'll walk away with 2 stunning pictures of a:

  • Mother and Baby Koala

  • Mother and Baby Panda

Not only this but you can use the confidence and techniques that you gain to draw your own pictures.

Materials

For all pictures I use Sand Coloured Fabriano Ingres Paper, this is a great neutral tone and works so well for all kinds of subjects. It is ideal for someone fairly new to pastel pencil work as you can erase so easily on the paper. I also use Faber-Castell Pitt 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 intermediate level artists. Perhaps you have tried my free courses and want to venture into the next level up or have already used Pastel Pencils before.

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

Basic Outline

I provide you with a basic outline drawing so that you do not have to draw free hand. Trace this through to your paper or print it straight out using your printer.

I walk you through step by step with Video instruction how to draw each stage.

If you've always wanted to draw and would like to feel the transformational benefits of drawing then this course is for you.

Who this course is for:

  • Those that have tried Colin's free courses and want to try more challenging Animal 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
  • Intermediate Level Artists
