Step by Step Art Tutorials

Why not grab a cuppa and try one of our Free Art Tutorials


Primarily a coloured pencil & acrylic artist, I also work with graphite pencils and soft pastels too, so these tutorials will not be limited to my own preferences. I am always open to working with other mediums and may include these in future tutorials. I also welcome other artists who wish to submit their own tutorial(s) for inclusion to this section which may include other mediums to the ones already stipulated.
Any artist wishing to submit their own mini tutorial (written form only) you can find out more at our A guide for article ideas page and drop me an E-mail.

Why not try one of our Coloured Pencil Tutorials

If you are completely new to coloured pencils and would like tutorial help on where to begin, why not try the 'Watermelon' tutorial which shows you how to layer with coloured pencils to create effect in your work, if you wish to take a step further in your pencil art to create high detail, the Snow Leopard eye is a good exercise - both have step by step explanations on the how's and why's including a colour chart so you can work with your own pencil brand. All tutorials have been written for any artistic calibre, so why not try them all!
