Create a serene beach landscape! In this first lesson, you’ll learn how to set your art station up for success. Then, you’ll start working with Prismacolor Graphite pencils to sketch your outline, while learning how to position your elements.
In Lesson 2, you’ll learn how to layer in colors with Prismacolor Colored Pencils to create depth, starting with your foundation or base colors. You’ll also learn how to scribble-shade to fill in space and how to properly apply pressure.
Learn about the hatching technique, an essential form of shading. You’ll then build depth in your beach scene by applying midtones and blending colors.
To finish your beachside drawing, you’ll use dark tones to create shadows and that final element of depth. You’ll also add the finishing touches (including cross-hatching) to truly bring your beach to life.
