Emily Rouleau's Colored Pencil Series Explores Paper Effects
Artist Emily Rouleau has released a three-part video series demonstrating how different paper surfaces affect colored pencil drawings. The series, hosted on Strathmore Artist's blog, covers Sketch, Toned Tan, and Bristol Vellum papers. Each lesson focuses on a distinct project: a reflective teapot on Sketch paper, vegetable studies on Toned Tan, and a butterfly illustration on Bristol Vellum. Rouleau shares techniques for layering color, building depth, preserving highlights, and adjusting pencil pressure. Supplies include Strathmore 400 Series Art Book, Strathmore 400 Series Toned Tan Sketch Paper, Strathmore 500 Series Bristol Vellum, and Lyra Rembrandt Polycolor Colored Pencils, along with tools like a kneadable eraser, pencil sharpener, and tape. The series is available as videos on the Strathmore Artist blog.
