Layering is one of the fundamental basics to drawing with coloured pencils. In fact, it’s a technique I use for every single drawing that I create. I will explain what layering is, why you should layer and then I’ll show you step-by-step in an actual drawing.

I’ll talk you through all of the materials that you’ll need, the basic techniques required to layer and then you can see it in practice by drawing a vibrant pear.

In this class, I will show you:

• The basic materials any coloured pencil artist needs
• The fundamental layering technique I use in every drawing
• An in-depth process from beginning to the end
• How to create an accurate sketch and turn them into finished drawings

My class has been created with the beginner in mind, so I don’t use lots of complicated phrasing – everything is broken down and explained. Once I’ve covered layering, we can apply it to an actual drawing. Remember that the goal is for you to be able to apply this to any drawing – the technique is always the same!
