Sketching with Inktense Watercolour Pencils

Hello and welcome to my class: Sketching with Inktense Watercolour Pencils!

This is a follow-up to my Introduction to Inktense Pencils class, with a focus on building layers and textures using a reference image provided for you.

In this class, we'll revisit the core application techniques covered in the first class. If you’d like a quick refresher, I recommend re-watching lessons 5, 6, and 7- but don’t worry if you haven’t, I’ll guide you through each method step-by-step as we work through the exercises.

We’ll create three sketches using three different base layer application techniques, emphasising how to layer and build texture using just a few vibrant Inktense colours.

To wrap up, I’ll demonstrate a complete sketch from start to finish using the same techniques, while incorporating a few additional mixed media elements to enhance the final result. This will be shown as a time-lapse (the sketch took just over an hour to complete), and I’ll talk you through the key steps as the artwork develops.

By the end of this class, you’ll feel confident in your ability to create striking Inktense sketches from reference images - and be ready to take on your own class project!

So, grab a nice drink & treat, get your Inktense pencils sharpened up, and let’s get ready to Inktense!

When you finish, please leave a review on the class so other fantastic students like yourself can find this class and be inspired by your Inktense journey!
