Fig in Coloured Pencil
A botanical art tutorial by Emma Tildesley.
Our dark subject for Coloured Pencil is the Fig. There is some lovely reflected light in this subject that sits alongside a band of very deep plum. I wanted to do this subject in just one brand (Faber Castell Polychromos) to show how we can mix colours that we do not have. I hope you enjoy this one!
