Colour pencil techniques


Pencil strokes
Children are encouraged to keep their colour pencil strokes in the same direction. In the above example, this child has strokes of different directions.


Blending
Children can experiment with building up layers of different colours to make their artwork more interesting.


Shadow
They can include light and dark components in their artwork by applying heavier pressure. 


Sharpening
Minimize sharpening by rolling the colour pencil in your hand every few strokes for a new sharp pencil point.
