For the last few years, we have taken part in the workshop series, found in the American Colored pencil magazine. This year, we chose a very different subject for the series, which was the Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights. You can purchase this magazine as a digital download, and try this tutorial yourself.   We chose black paper and just 6 colours from the Prismacolor Premier range, plus the introduction of Derwent Metallic colours and the Gelly pens by Sakura. A fascinating study, which works extremely well on dark paper. Click the black bar below to go to the website and purchase your own digital download from just £2.99.

Our current favourite product is the Sennelier oil pastel. Creamy, highly vibrant and great fun to work with. Perfect for use on the pastelmat paper too! 2020 Art Workshops I am currently in the process of organising this years art workshops and will be included in the winter newsletter which will be Emailed out to subscribers hopefully by the end of this month. All details will be posted on the step by step art CHESTERFIELD WORKSHOP page once available and added to social media pages for this site & my KMB social media pages too, ensuring a larger audience reach. Every year I choose 3 or 4 subjects for the Coloured pencil & Graphite pencil workshops which include varying techniques and surfaces to previous years, ensuring each workshop is different to another. Coloured pencil workshops using textured paper are somewhat easier for a complete beginner than the workshops working on smooth paper, however every workshop available can be attended by any artist regardless of their calibre, even if they have NEVER drawn anything since their time at school!
