Description

Have you ever wished you could create art you’re proud to display? In this beginner-friendly course, you’ll learn how to use pastel pencils to paint a realistic seagull. Even if you’ve never tried drawing or painting before, you’ll be amazed at what you can achieve by the end of this course!

Why Pastel Pencils?

Pastel pencils are the perfect medium for beginners. With over 30 years of experience, I can confidently say they’re one of the easiest art forms to pick up. Their pencil-like format gives you control, while their ability to blend and layer allows you to create stunning effects with ease.

What’s Included in the Course?

This course is designed to make your journey into art simple, enjoyable, and rewarding. Here’s what you’ll get:

  • Outline Drawing: No need to worry about freehand drawing. I provide a ready-to-use outline of the seagull that you can either print directly onto pastel paper or trace using a graphite transfer sheet.

  • Step-by-Step Video Tutorials: Follow along as I guide you through each stage of the process, from the first pencil stroke to the finishing details.

  • Simple Techniques: Learn essential pastel pencil skills like blending, layering, and adding depth to your artwork.

What You’ll Need

Starting this course is easy, and the supplies are minimal:

  • Pastel Pencils:

    • Faber-Castell PITT Pastel Pencils (101 White, 230 Cold Grey I, 233 Cold Grey IV, 172 Earth Green, 109 Dark Chrome Yellow, 185 Naples Yellow, 191 Pompeian Red, 175 Dark Sepia).

  • Pastel Paper:

    • I recommend Sand-Coloured Fabriano Ingres for its ability to hold multiple layers. Alternatively, any pastel paper like UART 800 grit or PastelMat works well.
