Would you believe these rich, juicy pears were drawn with just FOUR colored pencils?
That's right - you'll learn how to create your own range of colors from yellow to orange to green to brown - using only primary colors, plus Black. Ekaterina's secret to achieving insanely realistic, vibrant paintings is a secret no more - you can make stunning colored pencil art that you'll want to frame and display proudly - with only a handful of supplies!
Golden Pears is a great way to try out Faber-Castell Polychromos without having to invest in a whole set - all you need are: Deep Scarlet Red, Dark Naples Ochre, Middle Phthalo Blue and Black.
What you'll learn:
Mixing and Creating Colors: The magic of Ekaterina's technique lies in how she layers primary colors to achieve richly colored fruit that you just want to bite into.
Wood Grain: Ekaterina simplifies the process of achieving natural wood grains for the background - you'll be amazed at just how easy it is, even with just 4 pencils.
No White Pencil: You'll be challenged by not having a white pencil to add highlights, but you won't get lost. Ekaterina shows you exactly how to create the subtle shiny highlights utilizing the paper itself and primary colors.
About In-Depth Tutorials:
Created by master colored pencil artists, each In-Depth tutorial features 30+ steps and focuses on teaching you why and not just how the artist applies their technique. No book or video comes close to the amount of instruction in an In-Depth tutorial. Art instruction books typically contain 4-6 steps per demo. That just scratches the surface! With large images and 30 or more steps, In-Depth tutorials truly show you exactly how the artist works, making it easy to truly learn new colored pencil techniques and achieve success.
Note: Drawing paper not included. See list of supplies needed in the images. Polychromos pencil name changes can be found here.

Great Tutorial
This was my first tutorial and I think it's great. I am a beginner and every step was explained very well and it was also very educational. The most important thing at all: It was mega fun to paint the pears

Happy pencils
This is a great tutorial, my only difficulty was transforming the pencil choice in the tutorial to prismacolor pencils.

It works!
I think everybody knows that all in all you just need the primary colours - to mix all the rest. And yes, if you work with the help of this turorial, than you'll get it. It's fun and somehow very comfortable because you have all the necessary pencils at hand. I also bought the "Bursting-with-Berries"-Workshop (also with a handful of pencils), because I really enjoyed this one.

Great instruction
Loved this package. Instructions were clear and very helpful. I did cheat a bit and use some other colors I had. But I learned a lot about shading. Picture to transpose to get started was excellent. That really makes a difference.

Golden Pears in Depth Tutorial
What an outstanding tutorial.! All the steps are detailed as well as shown in photos, which provides guidance as to what the interim stages should look like. So very fascinating to create the entire still life with only 4 colored pencils - a great learning experience in the art of multiple layers. I also enjoyed working on a surface new to me. You can’t go wrong with this tutorial!
