TUTORIAL
|
If you love colouring flowers and forests, but sometimes feel daunted by a large amount of leaves and foliage, then this technique is for you! It's fun and will also save you lots of time, as you won't have to shade every individual leaf. Using pencils, paint, a sponge and some cotton buds, you can create wonderful effects and end up with a beautiful colouring that everyone will love. Watch the video below, and there is also a list of things you'll need listed underneath it. If you like colouring outside the lines, you'll love this technique. Have fun! |
WHAT YOU'LL NEED
|
• A mid green pencil for the base colour of the leaves. • A water jar. • An old paintbrush to mix the paints. • Acrylic paints to mix a dark green, light green and a yellow. • Palette or ceramic plate to mix the paints on. • Cut down a cosmetic sponge (or any sponge if you don't have one). • Cotton buds. • Kitchen towels. (After you dip your sponge/cotton buds into the paint, it helps to do a couple of dabs on kitchen towels so it's less blobby on your picture.) • Other coloured pencils to finish your colouring. (I used Marco Raffines here.) • Choose a picture! • You could also use a white gel pen for highlights if you wish, though I didn't use one in this demonstration. |
