If you’re new to coloured pencils, or you’ve tried them before but feel unsure where to start, this class will walk you through the exact process I use in every coloured pencil drawing I create.

Rather than focusing on a single technique, this class breaks down the full workflow: from choosing materials, to building layers, to knowing when and how to push contrast. Once you understand this process, you can approach any coloured pencil drawing with far more confidence.

We’ll first talk through the complete process step by step, explaining what to focus on at each stage and why. Then, we’ll apply that same process to a full realistic drawing of strawberries and cream, so you can see how everything comes together in practice.

In this class, I will show you:

The basic materials every coloured pencil artist needs
The fundamental techniques I use in every drawing
An easy-to-follow process from beginning to end
How to create accurate sketches and turn them into finished drawings

This class is designed with beginners in mind, so everything is explained clearly without technical jargon. Once the process is covered, we’ll apply it to a complete drawing as the class project. The skills you learn here can be carried forward into any coloured pencil subject.
