If you have a set of ink or watercolour pencils sitting on a shelf somewhere and you're not sure how to use them, or you're just looking for a new technique, then this class is for you!

I'll be pairing ink pencils with a white gel pen for an easy way to add finishing detail and create a beautiful drawing of a bird.

Guiding you through my technique, I'll break it down into four stages:

Drawing the outline
Laying down the colour with ink pencils
Applying the water
Creating detail with white pen

Once you've taken this class you'll be able to apply these four stages to any bird and I hope that you'll feel confident to experiment further!

To follow along you will need:

Ink pencils (watercolour pencils will work as well)
Medium to heavy weight paper - I use 250gsm/169lb
Pencil
Eraser
A small paintbrush
One pot of water
White pen - mine is 0.8mm (you could also use white ink applied with a fine brush if you prefer)
Paper towel
