Sunday in the Art Room

 Hi Everyone!

Thank you for all the nice compliments on my very first colored pencil drawing on FFO. I have also received several emails from people telling me how difficult colored pencil is for them. In my opinion, I want to share the best youtube instructor for colored pencil. If you want an understanding in colored pencils and a host of free ebooks and worksheets this is where you want to be.

Her name is Kirsty Partridge. This is where  you should start if you are a beginner like me.

I have down loaded and printed several of the ebooks and a work sheet. 
This has 18 pages of total teachings. 
this has 13 pages of easy to draw skin. 
here are 8 pages, 
of ya know my fave, hair.
One of the worksheets. 
This is a 2 page check list.
She offers a lot more. I don't normally do this, download teachings, but these are so good and I really want to excel in colored pencils, so I did.
Yesterday I received a package from my kids. OMG!!! They are so good to me.

If you want to learn or just want to reunite yourself with colored pencil art check out Kirsty.
Have a great day today.
Nicole

  3. Thanks, Nicole! I'm definitely checking these tutorials out, especially the one on skin tones which I find the most difficult to do. And what a wonderful gift of Prismacolour Coloured Pencils! That's the brand I use and they are great.

  5. Wow. What a super video. I have so little experience with colored pencils that I feel like I became an expert (not really but it feels that way) just watching. Thanks for much for sharing Nicole. And you do have super kids to send you such a great gift. hugs-Erika

  14. Very interesting, I will watch the video later. What I did notice is that the checklist really applies to all art if you are going for realism .
    Your kids chose well, those are nice pencils.
