LEARN BY MAKING
Try drawing, blending and painting with water. These simple starting points make it easier to begin.
TRY IT FOR YOURSELF
Draw one object using outlines, then fill it with broad strokes. Try light and firm pressure to compare the results.
Place two colors beside each other. Mix a little of each, then vary the proportions to make a short color study.
Lay down water-soluble pastel on suitable paper. Use a damp brush to spread a small area and compare it with the dry marks.
MAKE IT A HABIT
Choose a simple subject and keep the first study small. Repeat it with a different palette or a different technique to see what changes.
