How often do you really get to use the beautiful True Blue in a painting?

Touted as a superfood, blueberries are one of the world’s few blue foods.  Fun to add to muffins and pancakes, but even more fun to draw on drafting film, with the help of Gretchen Parker’s superb instruction!

Those plump blueberries are the stars – but what about that brilliant bokeh background?

In this tutorial, you’ll recreate this sunny scene, including learning how to create that amazing twig that looks so real you feel you could whittle it into a toothpick!  Variegated leaves, sparkling highlights, vivid colors – this vibrant little scene will keep you smiling as you draw, we’re sure of it.

About The Author:
For Gretchen Parker, colored pencil is the only artistic medium that ever clicked, as extreme detail flowed out her pencil tip. She has written extensively about colored pencil techniques. Her work has been featured in many publications and hung in several galleries. She has written the well-reviewed and popular CP Surfaces: Drafting Film for annkullberg.com. Gretchen teaches often via Zoom or the kitchen table.

Why an In-Depth tutorial?

A tutorial can be so useful in so many ways. A tutorial teaches you the author's methods. And also obviously, when you draw along with a tutorial, you learn by doing, which is much more powerful than learning by watching alone.

But even more importantly, a step by step teaches you how to break down complicated subjects into small, achievable steps, learning how to look at a reference photo with an artist’s eye, analyzing where and how to start, and which details to leave in and which to leave out. It's an important skill to learn and important for any colored pencil artist's success.

Note: Drawing paper and pencils not included. See images for complete supply list. Polychromos pencil name changes can be found here.
