colored pencils


 


basic color building

 

identify a hue by placing your value viewer over your photo reference, then asking yourself these four questions:

what do you see? pink?

is it an orangish-pink or a purplish-pink?

is it bright or dull (lots of gray)?

is it a light pink or a dark pink?

 

Wwith the hue identified, begin with the lightest value color you see, applying lightly.

add layers by value, starting with the lightest and gradually increasing to darker values.

building a light grayish-greenish blue like this might go like this:

 

10% french grey
cloud blue (pale blue)
20% french grey
light cerulean blue (pale, grayish blue)
celadon green (pale, grayish green)
light cerulean blue again
