COLOUR PENCIL lollies

A popular subject of the Pop Art movement was food! so we are going to be using food as our subject matter to complete a colour pencil study.

You can choose to select a photograph already taken of some lollies or you can do your own photograph [either at home or at school] It is REALLY important to have good natural lighting and a plain background. At school use the small lightboxes to do our photograph.

Here are some Artist examples of food for inspiration [drawings and paintings]

  1. Use a printed grid over the top and lightly draw your grid on your drawing paper [skip this step if freehand drawing]

  2. lightly sketch in the contour lines of your food/lolly. Erase any dark lines - you should barely be able to see any graphite. FULLY remove any grid lines

  3. start to build up colour with your pencils.
