Drawing a Pelican on PastelMat [FULL COURSE]

Welcome to Colin's Pelican Art Course.

This is the first tutorial that Colin has done using Clairefontaine PastelMat Paper. This is a popular paper amongst our students and even though Colin prefers the Fabriano Ingres Paper, we want to produce paintings on the PastelMat every now and again.With every tutorial we provide an outline drawing so that you do not have to draw the picture free-hand. We have provided this outline drawing below.Colin uses the Faber-Castell Pitt Range of Pastel Pencils as he feels these are the best on the market. The Faber-Castell range have a higher pigmentation and are more robust compared to other brands.However, you can use any brand of pastel pencils to complete the picture. You can compare the colours with our Faber-Castell Colour Chart.
