Color Pencil

from:www.homeschoolarts.com
The "Color Pencil" offers another relatively environmentally safe and convenient media to the parent of the home schooled student or to the artist that likes the portably and ease of use while in the field that the color pencil affords. Clean up is a snap with color pencils and the media lends itself to continued learning and experimentation. Modern color pencils are made with the same fine pigments as artist quality paints and the drawings can last for generations.

Pressure Drawing Pressure Variations
Vary the pressure on a crayon by pressing hard or lightly to create a deeper or lighter color. Vary the pressure in the same scene to create a sense of depth or distance. Use light pressure to create shadows and heavy pressure to create visual dominance.

Upside Down Crayons Create Oodles of O's with Upside Down Crayons
Hold a crayon upside down and roll it between the fingers to make small circles. Use these O shapes to create pictures with the pointillism technique.


Taped Crayon Stripes Triple or Double Stripe Designs
Tape several crayons together to create a multiple point drawing tool. This tool can be used to make stripes or plaids, or multiple lines with an easy stroke. The crayon tips should rest evenly on a flat surface when taping.


Scribble Designs Scribble Designs
Scribble a design on a piece of paper. Color in each shape with a different colored crayon.



Outlining Outlining
Use black or dark crayon colors to outline shapes in large murals, child-made big books or wall stories. Outlining the objects makes them easy to see from a distance.

Painting with Coloured Pencil by barbara newton

 
Step 1. The Line Drawing
The first step in creating a new painting is a line drawing that shows placement of objects. A line drawing can be simple outlines of shapes or can be detailed rendering of objects. Then the lines are transferred to paper or board for the final painting. To keep my paper clean, I usually transfer only one area at a time--whichever area I plan to work on next.

Step 2. Value Decisions

There are many decisions to be made in the creation of a painting - one judgment is about value. To hold the viewer's attention, it is important to have a good range of value. I color the darkest areas first. The lightest value is the white of the paper. With both ends of the value scale established, I can better determine the middle values.
 

 
Step 3. Underpainting

Form and volume of the tablecloth surrounding the main subject is created by applying French Gray in a range of values. Once it is a believable likeness portraying form and volume through value, color will be added. This underpainting or grisaille process separates value decisions from color decisions.

Step 4. Add Color to the Foundation

Subtle colors reflected upon the tablecloth from the flowers and vase are added. Juxtaposed colors - placing colors next to one another - instead of direct layering adds interest. The holes in the tablecloth and details of the vase are defined and darkened with Indigo Blue and Black.
 

 
Step 5. The Main Subject

The local color of the main subject is pink. The darkest value of the local color - in this case, Black Cherry - is applied to areas where there is an absence of light. The form and volume of the petals is created by applying color to and/or around each individual petal.

Step 6. Play Up the Light

To allow light to bathe the scene from the left, selected flower petals are left uncolored. The white of the paper represents strong sunlight. Where soft adjustment of previously applied color is needed, the area can be dabbed with reusable adhesive to gently lift color.
 
  Step 7. Subtle Adjustments
Indigo Blue was added to cool and push back areas that advanced because they were too warm. Complimentary color was added to neutralize both left and right lower corners.
