In-Depth Country Eggs Tutorial: Mastering Colored Pencils One Step at a Time

Lovely, warm, and homespun!

In this rustic still life from Mandy Peltier, you’ll use sanded paper to create a basket of farm-fresh eggs and bright violets. Have fun mastering a variety of different textures: metal, wood, eggshell, soft flower petals — and even semi-transparent cloth — all in one project!

Working on sanded paper is a fun and different approach to using colored pencil and it gives your artwork a soft look with a bit of texture; just perfect for creating a feeling of home and nostalgia. It's also a very forgiving surface, so goofs are never really goofs. You can fix anything!

Learn how to:

• Add highlights over other colors
• Work on sanded paper
• Create a variety of soft and hard textures
• Incorporate Brush and Pencil products into your work

Draw... Frame... Bask in your talent!

ABOUT IN-DEPTH TUTORIALS: Created by master colored pencil artists, each In-Depth tutorial features 30+ steps and focuses on teaching you why and not just how the artist applies their technique. No book or video comes close to the amount of instruction in an In-Depth tutorial. Art instruction books typically contain 4-6 steps per demo. That just scratches the surface! In-Depth tutorials truly show you exactly (and we really do mean exactly) how the artist works, making learning new drawing techniques easy and stress-free.
