Quick Color Flowers Module 2 - The Three-Color-Technique - a unique way to use your colored pencils

Discover how to quickly, yet beautifully add color and depth to your drawings. Floral Artworks never before looked so colorful in such a short time. This is the perfect addition to my Quick Sketch Method 2.0 - Flower Edition or any of my Drawing Nature / Inking Courses here at Skillshare, but works well on it's own too.

Many of my students have the idea that creating beautifully colored or painted flower sketches is rather complicated. Understanding color theory, light & shadows, working with watercolor paint, blending of colors – subjects that can be serious fun-killers for many people. Not to even mention all the hours you need to invest in creating a good-looking piece of flower art.

Let me tackle the mentioned hurdles for you and show you a much easier and quicker way to create satisfying results. Once you discover my unique ‘Three-Color-Technique’, you’ll be amazed at how far a few simple steps will take you. In this module I'll reveal what the ‘Three-Color-Technique is and how to use it. The techniques I’ll be showing you for blending colors, is going to be a great gamechanger for you. The traditional way of blending colored pencils can be a very time consuming and complicated process. This method is simplified, to actually make it fun again!

A lot of tutorials and courses about colored pencils, rely heavily upon certain-high end brands and are using expensive paper. Not the ‘Three-Color-Technique', you can use it with all kinds of papers and any brand of colored pencils, from inexpensive to very expensive. Because it's all about the technique and not the materials. In this Art Class I'm using cheap papers and inexpensive hobby brand colored pencils to teach the ‘Three-Color-Technique'. It's not that I don't have artist quality colored pencils myself (if you've seen my work or follow me or have done previous Art Classes by me, you know I do have them), it's a deliberate choice to develop a technique  that everyone can enjoy, no matter which materials they can or cannot afford, Whatever colored pencils you do own, you can use them. In one of the lessons I'll be doing a demonstration with various brands to show it works with all kinds of colored pencils.
