Simple Pastel Pencils Landscape - Perfect for Newcomers

This pastel pencil landscape lesson is perfect for beginners to pastel pencils. We'll start with blank paper and cover important topics like layering and blending to create a simple but pleasing landscape scene.

See below for materials and reference photos.

Materials Used

• A set of 24-36 Pitt pastel pencils by Faber-Castell (any brand though and you don't need the exact same colours as me)
• Canson Mi Tents (rougher side) with a mid-grey colour (but again, any mind-toned pastel surface will do for this sketch)
• Craft knife and sandpaper for sharpening
• Kneaded eraser
