Free Download What you’ll learn
Measure and draw accurately from a photo reference using a combination of concrete measuring methods and a somewhat trained eye.
Build and layer oil pastel to create richness and depth of color.
Use both oil pastel and colored pencil to achieve rich color and texture, as well as photo-realistic effects.
Create both out-of-focus and in-focus effects in oil pastel and colored pencil.
Replicate natural textures such as the rough rocks, rubbery frog skin, the shiny, round eye, etc.
Requirements
Have taken some of my drawing courses before (preferably several) or have some prior realistic drawing experience that involves measuring for accuracy.
Description
This course offers the intermediate art enthusiast a way to explore both a more intuitive approach to measuring/drawing, as well as a combination of oil pastel and colored pencil in the same image.We will walk through the entire process together, from what materials you’ll need, to drawing the frame, frog and background, to coloring many built up layers with oil pastels and then finally, with colored pencils.The drawing will be less exacting and a bit quicker than my previous courses, focusing more on angle measuring and slightly less on size. We will be relying more on the artists’ more seasoned eye to identify and adjust the drawing as we go. We will still be measuring and aiming for accuracy, but the difficulty of the image we’re copying is greater and the pace will be slightly less methodical, relying somewhat more on your previous drawing experience to guide you.The coloring will be a lot of fun as we dive deeper with oil pastels, building our whole drawing from background to foreground to subject and back again. We’ll layer and blend, sharpen, brighten and neutralize over and over again, working our way towards a more and more refined drawing of the photo reference. Then towards the end, we’ll use colored pencils to sharpen edges and add details that will make our whole drawing pop off the page.This course is meant for the seasoned beginner or newer intermediate student who is after more of a challenge with both drawing and rendering, and who wants to have some fun with dry mixed media to create a photo-realistic image.When we are finished, you will walk away with an enhanced set of skills you can use to apply to more beautiful drawings.
