I’m excited to be hosting another free Facebook workshop with Gerstaecker and GreatArt. This time, discover the versatility of Derwent Graphic Pencils during this inspiring live workshop. I’ll take you into the world of graphite and show you the differences between the various pencil grades.
You’ll learn various drawing techniques, discover the best erasers and sharpeners to use, and get plenty of handy tips to get more out of your graphite drawings.
Together, we’ll draw a cute little sparrow on drawing paper.
The workshop is live and interactive: you can join in and ask all your questions during the broadcast.

Materials I use:
– Derwent Graphic pencils (HB, 2B, 8B)
– Derwent blending stump
