Rainbow Shading Part 2 Lesson
Two days ago Art Clubbers and I had the second part of this super fun series, how to create SHADING using colored pencils. This is different than just coloring with colored pencils, there are two dimensions of complexity in this task: establishing the value (lightness) of the colored pencils AND the color.
The first thing we did was a quick recap on Part 1, where we had explored technique, the different levels of color shading and color wheel.
Next we discussed how color shading is different than just coloring, with lots of examples.
Next, we worked on two well known tangles, Pokeleaf and Fife, starting by really understanding the different options of how these tangles can be shaded, using direction light source (or not).
We completed two very indepth sequences with fragments of the two tangles.
Part 2 is available to all members of my Art Club as a video recording. If you are interested, then join the club while these recordings are still available to new members (only another month). Learn more about Art Club here.

I've been MIA for over 20 days for a good reason: my husband and I went on a month-long adventure which included crossing the Atlantic on a cruise from Europe to Brasil, with some dear friends. Before leaving I selected some pictures to work on while aboard: this one is based on a Gothic artifact found in the John Leighton’s Suggestion of Designs (1880) found in archive dot org. Inktense pencils and Pitt Brush pens with a waterbrush.
