Printable Colored Pencil Blending Workshop

About the Printable

This is a duo of worksheets designed to help teach some of the very basics about Blending with Colored Pencils and then provide you with a place to practice and experiment.

The Worksheets Feature:

• Written Instructions that attempt to break down basic concepts to help with Colored Pencil Blending such as:
  • Understanding Pressure
  • Blending in Thirds
• Small areas to practice with different Blending Methods
• Small illustrations to practice the concepts and methods you've learned
• Small areas to practice working with different types of Blending Aids

This is not "the last blending lesson you'll ever need," but rather meant as a simple resource to get you started, practicing, and maybe a little better prepared to experiment with more complicated blending techniques and methods later on.

Additional Details

For Printing:

All of my full-page Worksheets like this one were designed on an 11" x 8.5" (standard letter size paper) canvas with minimal or no margins as most printers will add the margins automatically. The resolution was also set to at least 300 dpi (sometimes higher), so the quality should be nice and crisp. I've found that I have the best results by printing the downloaded file from my computer (not just opening the image in a web browser and printing from there) and making sure that the option that says something like "Print Entire Image" or "Fit to Page" was selected in the options.

If you'd like more information on how the Workshop was designed and is meant to be used, please check out the detailed post on my DeviantArt.
