Sharlena says “The Drawing Wild Animals class will share an exciting combination using PanPastel Colors with charcoal pencils to create stunning black and white wildlife portraits. PanPastel Colors help make the drawing process easy! I love this product and it has single handedly changed my work in great ways with impressive results. Each animal project begins using a greyscale PanPastel palette and sponges to help create a range of value and how to start blocking in main big shapes before details. From there the lessons look at various drawing with charcoal and mark-making techniques using PanPastel and knife applicators to create the illusion of patterns and textures in wildlife.”
