Colored Pencil Plus

Colored pencils are practically perfect.

When it comes to art mediums, there isn't anything else which approaches the easy-to-use appeal of colored pencils. And since you've been writing and coloring since kindergarten, there's a very low intimidation factor to colored pencil.

But the universal appeal also has it's downside.

Colored pencils are trendy right now which means there is a lot of bad information and terrible technique on the internet. Self-professed experts are recommending expensive pencil sets without an artist's understanding of pigments & binders, good technique, or the needs of beginners. When you do find a reliable pencil authority, the information is usually slanted towards experienced users and advanced techniques.

Join Amy Shulke, a professional illustrator and colored pencil specialist for an in-depth look at her favorite colored pencil techniques.

Colored Pencil Plus is a unique approach to coloring with colored pencils. Amy teaches students basic techniques and color theory in an easy to understand, easy to apply method which moves beyond craft-level coloring.

Instead of focusing on "how" to color a selected stamp image, Amy shows you the "why" behind color selection, shade, layering, and depth. This provides students with the necessary knowledge and instincts to color an endless variety of images for the rest of your life.

Colored Pencil Plus is the first step towards coloring independently, in your own unique style, and with more accurate realism.

In this twelve-week beginner level course, Amy covers basic colored pencil techniques and general know-how, giving students a good understanding of both how colored pencils work and how to work colored pencils.

Amy's approach to colored pencils is unique and a little odd.

With a fine art background, Amy taps into classical oil painting techniques used by the Flemish masters. She uses a solvent-free method of underpainting adding layers of clever colored pencil over the top.

This method simplifies the coloring process but also allows students to spend more time doing the fun details rather than worrying about grainy paper tooth.

Beautiful colored pencil art is within your grasp but you can't get there following tutorials and blending recipes. You can learn to color independently with style and artistry. You can paint with pencils.
