In August 2010 the site has been re-designed to reduce the number of pages, provide easier reading and navigation, and still contain the same amount of data

GENERAL COLOURED PENCIL TECHNIQUES

 

This section looks in more detail at particular techniques and  collects together a range of notes built up over a period of time.  

Some of the notes repeat, summarise or extend notes found elsewhere on the site,

but wherever possible, links are provided to the alternative information on the same topic.

 

LANDSCAPE topics are covered more particularly in the next section

Though as the  techniques section was  previously all together,

it may be a little time before it all gets sorted into a more logical shape

 

 

I have collected here notes on the following :

 

 

Working the Surface    Treatment of the surface before and after colour

                   Incorporating   Working Methods,   Blenders and Burnishers   and    Managing Pigment

 

Backgrounds       Achieving gentle colour change - Some ideas ( not exhaustive )

Colour Matching  An exact colour match is needed and right colours are not available

Composition  - Selecting the subject and getting down the image

                    - Composition, Distance, Counterchange, Roads

                    - Focus Colour, Picture Shape, Reflections

                    - Shadows, Snow, Observation

Complementary colours - Complementary Colours and Grisaille  - Colour Wheel

Working Coloured Pencil on coloured and black paper

 

 

SEE ALSO - There are a range of Techniques detailed in the ART POINTS section

These are shown separately as they also relate to Art Techniques in General rather than exclusively CP methods
