Lesson Description

In this lesson series, we’ll combine ink (used as a wash) with colored pencils to create a still life drawing of blueberries on Hot Pressed watercolor paper.

In this lesson, we explore the materials and surface and draw the contours of the blueberries.

In this lesson, we begin applications of ink. We begin creating an ink wash which serves as an underpainting for the finished artwork.

In this lesson, we complete the ink wash, addressing the final blueberry and the leaves.

Lesson 4 - Colored Pencils - Part 1

In this lesson, we begin with colored pencil applications, layering light applications before burnishing with colorless blender.

Lesson Discussion

  1. Dear Matt,

    What a great start of the new year you are offering with this lesson. Since I wrapped myself up with the “Realistic pencil drawing course” last year, I am finally ready to happily follow along this course.

    Ink and colored pencils? That really teaches how to get the values right, which is a principle of art I am still struggling with. I tend to watch all your lessons, classes and courses multiple times and always find something new to learn, to practise, to have fun with or everything all together.

    This course really gets me to dive into colored pencils.
    Thank you very much and a happy new year 2025,
    Buddy

  3. Matt,

    As all your courses this one is right up there.

    My caregiver walked in and heard you talking about blueberries and the next thing I knew he was eating blueberries (frozen ones) out of the bag.

    Then I showed him the artwork and he said oh yeah! I didn’t even have to see them to know how good they looked”

    I already have a plan for this course. I’ll make them into cards as I do like to send out cards!

    Thanks for all you do!

    Teri!
