UdemyThis course teaches a full tabby cat portrait using pastel pencils — a medium the instructor, with over 30 years of teaching experience, considers one of the easiest art media to pick up. Only six specific pencils are used (Faber-Castell Pitt Pastel Pencils, from white through dark sepia), keeping the material list short and approachable.
To remove the guesswork of freehand drawing, an outline is provided that you can trace or print directly onto pastel paper, letting you focus on shading, blending, and color rather than proportions. Written instructions accompany the video for anyone who prefers reading over following along in real time.
Absolute beginners are explicitly the target here — no prior drawing experience is assumed, just a willingness to pick up a pencil and follow along.
In my 30+ Years of Teaching Experience I have found that Pastel Pencils is the by far the easiest art medium to pick up and learn.
In this course you will learn how to use just 6 pastel pencils to create an AMAZING Tabby Cat Portrait.
This course is designed for all levels including absolute beginners.
We provide you with an outline drawing so that you do not have to draw free hand. Trace this through to your paper or print it straight out using your printer.
With everything that’s going on around the world with COVID-19, we feel that art and creativity is more important than ever. Art is a wonderful form of meditation and escapism from traumatic and challenging times.
Science has proven the benefits of drawing, it’s not just the act of creating in itself, but the feel good feeling of creating something you’re proud of, that helps your mind and body.
Whatever situation you’re in right now (quarantine etc), if you have the urge to pick up a pencil, we’re here.
So, for the foreseeable future we’re offering this new Tabby Cat course FREE to anyone that wants to give drawing a go. Share with your family and friends – anyone that you feel could benefit from drawing.
Whether you’re an artist eager for a new art project or someone that’s never picked up a pencil before, this course is for you.
