Colored Pencil Demonstration Video

Here is a great step by step colored pencil demonstration by artist Veronica Winters.

During this video tutorial, Veronica will share lots of  tips and techniques for creating a stunning colored pencil drawing.

Veronica uses colored paper for her drawings as it speeds up the drawing process and makes her drawings appear brighter and more vibrant.

She uses smooth paper that doesn’t have much tooth to it.  She uses Prismacolor  Premier Colored Pencils. These are a high quality colored pencil with a lot of pigment in them. Well worth the investment if you are looking to produce vibrant high quality work like Veronica’s.

She is working from a reference photo that she took in Italy.

She begins with a drawing that she lays out using a graphite 2HB Pencil. She lays in the drawing very lightly as she doesn’t want the graphite to show through in lighter areas of her finished piece. After finishing her initial drawing, she will smooth out harsh lines with a kneaded eraser.  While she is creating her initial drawing, she is focusing on creating a great composition.

Colored Pencil Tutorial By Paula Pertile

About Paula:

I was born and raised in Sacramento, CA, USA, where it gets very very very HOT in the Summer. WAY too hot. I played the piano, took tap dancing lessons, did my homework, and spent a lot of time sitting directly in front of the air conditioner.

I always liked to ‘color’, and in the third grade I won a coloring contest sponsored by a local coffee shop. My prize was a banana split, a bank radio and  FIVE whole dollars.

WOW!

You could make money just for coloring? The seed was planted.
