Hello! Today, I present a little exercise I did to practice drawing a field of grasses/small landscape. It was rather pleasant and easy to do, and it did not take much time at all. For this, I used instructions in Denise Howard's 101 Textures In Colored Pencil. I worked with a mix of suggested Prismacolor Premier pencils and those that were somewhat close to the suggested ones, all on a hot pressed watercolour paper. Below is the process in a nutshell.
This is what it looks like in the book:
And here are my steps (please excuse the fibers under the tape - I make it a bit less tacky by sticking it first to my clothing a couple of times, so that it won't lift off the top layer of paper on removal). First, I just laid down the basic shapes and main colours.
Next, I just deepened what I already had and started to add detail.
Here you can better see some of the colours incorporated into the drawing:
And here is the final result. I decided to add a bit of dark pink, to suggest some tiny flowers and to break up the green a bit. The whole picture is only about 3.5 x 3.5" in size.
Thank you very much for visiting. Have a wonderful day.
