TECHNIQUES

Mixing colours

Achieve subtle blends and delicate shadings with little more than two or

three colours. The degree of pressure applied has an important effect on the result

Use black to darken a colour, white to lighten it, and grey to dull it.

Crosshatching

This is a basic technique in the use of colour pencils: Sketch in the subject lightly

with a grey pencil. Start with the light shades. Gradually build up volume with

criss-crossed lines. Circular movements add variety and interest. Hold the pencil

at a flat angle for shading, and upright for details.

Stencils and texturing

Special effects can be achieved by placing the paper on a textured support.

You can also cut out a stencil and copy it as many times as you want, moving

the stencil and changing the colour as you wish.
