Here’s the piece from today’s UStream. Stephanie had asked for a watercolour pencils tutorial, and for once I actually stuck with just doing those and not throwing everything at it!

To add a little twist (and since I don’t actually have watercolour pencils in portrait colours) I did a portrait in non-natural colours. I think she came out quite fairy like and may even give her wings at some point.

This is entirely done with Crayola watercolour pencils (12pk), Derwent Inktense (24pk) and Derwent Graphitint (6pk). The only exception is the initial drawing, done with a Crayola erasable colour pencil, and the eye glints, which I used white acrylic for as the Inktense pencil wasn’t opaque enough.

Since I’ll be filming for my new Portraits class the next couple of weeks, there is no ‘free class’. However, I will still be live on UStream just doing journal pages and things. So do pop along and feel free to journal with me or ask questions while I work

When free classes resume, Robyn will be choosing the topic as she gave the correct answer to this week’s pop quiz.
