Thank you for enrolling in our course!

Introduction

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.

The Basics

In the next lecture you will learn the main principles behind using coloured pencils. You can watch these at your leisure and there's no copying required, we just want to run you the materials and techniques.

Outline Drawing

After you have covered the basics we recommend you start with a subject that you really like the look of. With each picture you will have the outline drawing and my finished picture to work from.

You can trace the outline through to your drawing surface or you can choose to draw it free hand.
