Episode 2 / Pastel Drawing Lesson / California Poppy


Listen Later

Grab some pastels from the closet and find a flower in your yard to draw. In this episode I draw a California Poppy from my backyard using some cheap dry pastels I had in my studio. Take a good look at your flower and notice all the different colors that you see when you take a minute or two and just look. Key notes from the episode: Use dark colors to make a black for the shadows and start light to dark.
