Step by Step Tutorial on doing Realistic Portraits using Coloured pencils and Zest-it

This brand new 26 page tutorial is now available for a small fee from my website at http://www.miniatureartbykhull.com/tutorials_34.html. It is a comprehensive step by step guide on how to achieve realistic portraits using coloured pencils and Zest-it pencil blend on Pastelmat. There is also a section on how to use Pan pastels in combination with the coloured pencils to achieve a softly blended background. This particular tutorial uses a range of different brands of pencils, however, by using the Coloured Pencil Conversion Chart which is also available from by website, you can work out which of your own pencils to substitute for the ones used in this tutorial, so there is no need to go out and buy a whole lot of new pencils.

Wonderful work as always Karen - amazing stuff.

Keep an eye out in the post - One naughty doggie is sending some distractions to the another offending pooch.

Ours disgraced herself on the "good" loungeroom carpet by vomiting a big long trail....

Gotta love dogs!
