Catherine Roux has recently completed the Coloured Pencil Online Course. She has created the most fabulous coloured pencil drawing of a Chicken and Duck scene in a farmyard.
Catherine said during the course…..
“I have really enjoyed the Coloured Pencil Online Course course so far. I started learning to draw only a few years ago on my own, so I am a beginner really. It started because I really enjoyed creating and manipulating images with Photoshop and Illustrator. I soon realised that if I had absolutely no knowledge of how to draw, I was limited in what I what I could do. I decided that it was never too late to learn!
At first, I started with colour pencils because it was a very accessible medium for a beginner and perfect to learn to draw with. However I soon really enjoyed it in its own right. I really like drawings in colour pencils and would like to improve my skills.
I use Faber-Castell Polychromos and for the paper, I use Italian Fabriano 5 Hot Press. As to the difficulties I encountered, being a beginner, there were many of them. Knowing what details to keep and reproducing the highlights and shadows was very challenging.”
An extract from the assessment of the chicken and duck drawing…
This is another very nice drawing where you have used a wide range of colours. The scene looks three dimensional and there is a good sense of recession in the drawing.
