Draw with Me – Session 5

 

In this session we’ll work with coloured pencils. Using just yellow, red and blue we’ll make a study of a floral subject focussing on how we can layer and colour mix with those pencils. Work onto your sketchbook page or drawing paper, or if you prefer to use toned paper you can add a white pencil for those highlights and pale areas. Don’t forget, if you prefer to grid for accuracy of your initial drawing that’s fine, just keep that grid nice and light and rub it out before you begin to add layers of colour.

Approximate run time: 1 hours 11 minutes

Presenter: Laura Kemshall

In this session we'll work with coloured pencils to make a floral study full of colourful shadows.
