Course Content

1 Unit - 5 video lessons
Part 1- Introduction
In this video, I talked about the pastel pencil for beginners starter pack. I also spoke about the essential materials you need. They include the Faber-Castell Pitt Pastel Pencils, color shaper, double-ended eraser, and materials required in sharpening your pencils. You will learn how to transfer our line drawing onto your pastel paper using a Trace down Carbon. For the picture, I used Sand Coloured Fabriano Ingres Paper; this is a great neutral tone and works so well for all kinds of subjects. It is ideal for someone relatively new to pastel pencil work to erase so easily on the paper. I also use Faber-Castell Pitt Pastel Pencils and refer to these throughout the course. You can, of course, use any materials that you wish to use.

The Body and Feet
In this video, we will complete the drawing of the beak and cover the large area of the body, feet, and claws with 273: Warm Grey IV, 182: Brown Ochre, then 175: Dark Sepia and white.
39:36
Tree Trunk
In this video, we will concentrate on the tree trunk, and the first pencil we are going to be using is the 168: Earth Green Yellowish pencil. Then we will use 182: Brown Ochre, 187: Burnt Ochre pastel pencil, 273: Warm Grey IV, and 175: Dark Sepia.
21:02
Background
With pastel pencil, it is always a good idea to put base colors on before using a really strong color. For the background, we will use the side of the white pencil to shade the background, then 168: Earth Green Yellowish over it.
