Drawing a Day Week 3, Day 1, Dry Color

Colored pencils are a semi-dry, or conversely, a semi-liquid, medium that holds pigment in a handy wood holder. They are mostly semi- or fully transparent, and can be used to build a quick sketch painting. Barbara Benedetti Newton is a master of the media, and she offers this neat tutorial painting some garlic heads, backlit.

Try this:

When you're drawing and sketching, keep in mind that you can add color pretty much at any time. Pump up your explorations with good, fast color with colored pencil, watercolor washes, or colored pens. You'll love the results.
