About Leontine van Vliet:
Leontine is a professional pencil artist from the Netherlands. She works with colored pencils and pastel pencils and focuses mainly on animals. After working full-time as a pet portrait artist for four years she is now teaching others how to create realistic pet portraits and wildlife drawings.
I loved the Dolphins with Leontine class, because the combination of pastels for speed and colored pencil for detail is a perfect combination. I have worked with both mediums, and I love both, but colored pencil can at times be a little overwhelming because of the amount of time it takes to get the detail I love. I had also wanted to learn to portray water realistically, and the distortions and light reflections can be intimidating, but Leontine did an excellent job of showing us how to break everything down into manageable pieces by focusing on the shapes and base colors building from there. I was really happy with my end result. Plus, it was a fun and simple treat to add the air bubbles as the final detail.
It was great to work the background with pastel pencils to give a glow to the water and then to use the color pencils for the dolphins to get their detail!! Learned a lot about both. It was also interesting to use pastelmat for the paper. It gave a lot of 'tooth' to work with when blending. I enjoyed this class a lot.
