Colored Pencils
For beginner and professional artists alike, coloring pencils are such a fun medium. They are ideal for starters because you’re allowed so much control over the outcome, and they’re fun for the more seasoned artists because there is so much you can do with them that you are never finished experimenting with new techniques. Artists who enjoy capturing images in various locations can greatly benefit from color pencils; all you need is some paper, the pack of pencils and a sharpener and you can be on your way.
Pros of Coloring Pencils
If you’re using high quality color markers or color pencils (you want to make sure they are lightfast so they do not fade over time), there are many benefits of this underappreciated medium.
• Portability – Previously mentioned, this cannot be overlooked. Even if color pencils are not your favorite medium, they can be transported from location to location with little effort. Once you’ve captured the basics of your picturesque image, you can bring it home and use the image with other mediums.
• Immediacy – Unlike other mediums, colored markers have a remarkably fast dry time, and coloring pencils have no dry time at all. This gives you the benefit of knowing exactly how it’s going to turn out, because you can see how it turns out simply by placing the pencil point on the paper.
• Versatility – Although this is the medium of choice used with beginning artists, color pencils are wildly versatile. The amount of control you have over them is unrivaled, and there are so many techniques to practice you have room to improve continuously. Additionally, if you’re feeling really creative, you can undoubtedly create new techniques.
