Transcript

Somewhere along the way, people started to think colored pencils are too simple and made just for kids. But this artist has found a way to push this basic tool far beyond expectations. By combining slightly textured watercolor paper with a light, slowly translucent color, instead of rough strokes or bold outlines, she achieves perfectly gradients, almost airbrushed finish. The craziest part about this technique is how the soft touch method lets her blend colors so seamlessly that every transition looks completely effortless. Did you know this was even possible with colored pencils?
