Create Pastel Art with Colin Bradley

  

Colin Bradley is a renowned artist whose TV appearances, DVDs, books and workshops have led him to fully embrace the internet to teach others how to use pastels.

Using pastels is easy to learn and pencils are easy to use; similar to using coloured pencils, they require no colour mixing but will blend easily to create beautiful effects.

Create Your Own Pastel Art + Free Video

Many people would love to be able to create art like this, but are put off from trying because they can't draw...well no excuse here because the hard bit has been done for you - you download an outline drawing and colour it in following the detailed colour reference picture and Colin's instructions.

Another reason to be put off is the cost of a box of pastel pencils, but most of the projects use only 6 pencils and many of them are the same. Find out more about pastel pencils, paper and accessories.

Give it a go - the cat is made even more accessible to beginners because Colin has shared 9 free videos on how to complete it...so for this one you have both a visual and written guide to get you started with a love for pastel pencils!
