JANUARY 2011

Back in the Summer, I had proposed writing a book on Landscape in Coloured Pencil

as this subject seems to be severely lacking on the bookshelves.

This would have taken the place of any further expansion of the Landscape section here

HOWEVER

Since then, I have looked at what would be involved and made a further decision.

Life is just too short to be thinking of going into all that fuss and bother at my time of life.

The section ( listed above ) on Bricks Stone and Tiles is the first stage of the extra information

I aim to follow this with a further section on Prepared Woodwork ( as in Boats and Buildings ).

I also intend to include a further section about water in a landscape

The Landscape section will then be re-arranged and some extra tutorials added

An Example of a Landscape

Worked in Watercolour and Dry Point pencils.

The original reference was an old black and white photograph taken of the farm in around 1949.

The picture was worked on Fabriano 5

Hot Pressed paper, stretched in a special frame.

The initial drawing was in light colour

using Caran d’Ache Supracolor soft pencils.

The next stage involved working shading layers of dry Supracolor pigment on to the dry paper,

followed by a brushing out of the colour

with a damp Watercolour brush.

Once the surface was dry,

Further layers of colour were worked on to the surface using Faber Castell Polychromos Dry Point pencils
