4 VERY unexpected art supplies that WORK 🤷‍♀️ Mixed Media Collage Art Tutorial for BEGINNERS

Today I'm trying Caran d'Ache Luminance colored pencils for the first time to create a mixed media portrait ("Hot Dog Style"). I'm not normally a colored pencil artist because I prefer art supplies I can work quickly with, but you have to see the DREAMY skin tone effects these colored pencils create - especially when burnished with a Derwent Drawing Pencil in Chinese White. SO glad I tried this idea from my talented artist friend, Sharon Holmberg!

I agree Karen, your artwork should not be painful!! Colored pencils are more of a end to me! But your girl is very pretty! Love the background! 👍😍✍🎨💖

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Thank you, Jackie!

[@deannabates1575]

I don’t like colored pencils for the same reason, lol. You’re not alone! I do admire people who have the patience to make amazing art with them, though.

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Me too!!!

[@vivienneadamson2307]

You did an amazing job Karen with the pencils and your flower chic is so awesome. I love coloured pencils and the great details you can create with them but you do have to have plenty of patience and time. Well done X

Thank you, Vivienne!

You crack me up. Colored pencils are not my friend because of the layers and I type all week at work so my hands already hurt😂😂. I love that you show us so many ways to create. I loved your comment “but I’m not” I say that ALL the time😂😂 Thank you💕💕💕

That totally makes sense, Cheryl!

[@sheilacym]

I have fallen down the KZbin rabbit hole today while looking for reviews on skin tone markers, and discovered your Channel !! Am so pleased to have found you and have ordered your new book from Amazon , “Skin tone Secrets “. I just started colouring earlier this year and have bought various sets of pencils and Arrtx and Altenew alcohol markers which I really love. Still undecided as to what skin tone markers to buy. Am enjoying learning and practicing with the markers before adding coloured pencils ….they definitely make much lighter work of everything. Using the markers as base layers helps the pencils lay down better especially when colouring straight onto the pages of some of the books from a certain giant company where the paper is of very poor quality. Am very much looking forward to receiving your new book….it has had many rave reviews !! All the best to you, Karen !

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Thank you for your sweet message, so happy to have you here! I hope you absolutely love my book!

[@eunicetaylor6264]

This is AWESOME! You are great at colored pencils so you must do more and your hand will most likely get used to it. The skin on that picture is just beautiful and I love the colors you used for the hair, that gold mixed in really did it for me. Can't wait to try this and maybe couple it with the fairy lessons. I too am leary of colored pencils but you've really got me over that right quick. Sharon Holmberg is a wonderful artist and I hope she publishes something like a calendar and actually you really should do a calander too, would love to have your art just hanging around.

[@theautisticside]

Hot tips (I think): 1. I have the whole Luminance set because I'm a clown. But I keep going back to Prismacolor because their softness makes applying layers a lot easier on my hands. 2. Doing watercolor, water-based markers, or even gouache layers underneath colored pencil really helps to build up color.

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Thanks for the tips!

[@jackiemorrell2298]

Karen, I'm not a big fan of colored pencils either because of the hand pain I end up with after trying to complete a drawing. Recently thought I watched a video by a channel called Color My World and her creation called Foundation Paste or Base Paste. The video where she shows how to make it is called Colored Pencil Foundation Paste DIY Tutorial. How to use Base Paste Colored Pencil Foundation. I think I may give it a try and thought you might be interested too.

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Oooh, I will have to check that out Jackie!

[@39Bosski]

This was a fun video to watch and I can't wait to incorporate this into my own work. I have a habit of drawing on the backs of junk mail envelopes and then cutting out the pictures to glue into my sketchbook, but I never do anything like this with them. Also... I just discovered your channel but I've already got a couple of your books.

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

I hope you will incorporate it, and I am so happy that you subscribed! Thank you!

Hej Karen! I'm a big fan of your artwork and your tutorials and lessons seriously KICK ASS, thank you so so so so sooo very much! Whenever i can compromise and follow through I buy and follow your lessons on Awesome Art School. Someday (when my current time-sucker job allows it), I will enroll and go for the bundle (seriously need your guidance when it comes to draw and love, love, love mixed media projects, men I'm still struggling with markers, my least fav media). Anyway, all of this to tell you that: to enjoy the process (and results) of using colour pencils in my own artwork and art journals I needed to give up on trying to achieving the best results with "just" layering. Nowadays my fav method-to-go is to blend them with Zest-it Blending Sponge, to get the flawless, soft results I want faster. Best Regards, Kátia

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Love that, thanks for sharing Katia! I hope you will join us in Awesome Art School one day!

New to your channel. I've been binge watching and caught some videos where you stated not liking clear gesso. Not sure if your opinion has changed in videos I haven't watched yet. The clear gesso works amazing as a prep layer for colored pencil. Cuts the time to color way, way down.

[@bridgettwonder5386]

Karen, my bestie, you do everything at 80 MPH! No wonder you find pencils slow and boring. If you enjoyed sitting and coloring…That is why mixed media is fun for everyone-use the mediums that suit your pace. Pan Pastels are amazing! I’m just trying them. Lots of color quickly!

[@christineingram55]

Oh ! Karen ..It’s all in the way you hold the pencil.My Dad taught me to rest a pen or pencil with it between my first finger and thumb and resting on my third finger.It means you keep your fingers straight and have full control of your medium.My fingers are very bad with arthritis.I can still colour for hours using pencils as I add no pressure at all.You let the pencil do the work not the hand .you just keep going over the area to get the coverage you want.Your first one needs to be a good cover.The rest you build ,I add in other colours like reds and purples and pinks sometimes to get the shadows and emphasis on certain areas. I have just gone back into watercolour.But find it too flat so finish with pencils.They work beautifully over the top of watercolour.They seem to like that little bit of extra texture.But that’s why you had problems and it’s such a shame because pencils can really enhance your work sometimes.You know when you feel there’s something missing.And the eyes are beautiful done with them too.They look so pretty and have so much more depth ,as well as the shading under the eyelids too..They do wonderful dusky eyes and because it’s a dry medium it’s not going to get out of control..Sorry I know your an artist and I am a now and then one .But pencils are my thing and they do amazing things to your work without pain .If I can do it with bent painful hands you can do it too.It’s worth trying as they are well worth the effort.As well as very relaxing too..Love n Light 🥰
