In this course you'll find 6 subjects that you can learn to draw and shade with graphite pencils then wet them like you would watercolour pencils! My first love was watercolour so using these pencils is a fantastic experience.
You do not need to have any free-hand drawing experience either!
For each subject I provide a feint outline drawing that you can print off (if you want to trace or draw the subject free hand please do! We have a free hand drawing course using a grid system I developed also on Udemy)
We'll go over the outline, draw the details then shade the picture with various shades of graphite.
The pencils I use and recommend are the Aquarelle Faber-Castell Graphite Set. There's 5 tones in the pack:
HB
2B
4B
6B
8B
These pencils are also designed to be used with water. You do not have to use the set I use, but do make sure the graphite pencils you use are water-soluble if you are going to wet the picture :-P
After shading the picture we'll grab a brush and go over the subject with a little water! There are 6 subjects in the course:
1. Cabin
2. Wheelbarrow
3. Drill Monkey (graphite only - no wash)
4. Medway Queen
5. Hopalong Cassidy (graphite only - no wash)
6. Lady with the Red Hat
For the Drill Monkey and Hopalong Cassidy we do not wet the pictures as I feel the effects we achieve look great without, however you can wet your picture if you like :o)
If you want to learn how to use water-soluble graphite pencils then this course is for you. There's a wide range of subjects and the techniques you'll learn you can apply to your own pictures!
