Karen Margulis Patreon Follow-Along: Shiny Vase
Karen Margulis offered her Patreon members a demo of how to paint shiny objects. Using her reference photo — but modifying it for my own purposes — I did this study on Colourfix Original (Soft Umber color), and used both hard and soft pastels.
Shiny Vase in Pastel Pencil & Charcoal
Today for her Patreon members, Karen Margulis had a photo demo of painting a shiny vase in soft pastels. I used the reference photo provided, but decided to draw the vase in charcoal first, and later filled in the shapes with the colors I saw using pastel pencils. This was done on plain ol’ drawing paper.
White on Black – Tango Dancers
This study is based off a reference photo used in Jane Lazenby’s “Drawing the Human Figure” class on ArtTutor.com (which is closing in March 2022).
White on Black — Glass
I drew this glass as a follow-along effort based on what I learned at The Drawing Source website.

Figure in Charcoal
This drawing in vine charcoal is based off an image by inna mikitas from Pixabay. The paper is a brown shade of Canson Mi-Tientes. My intention is add color with soft pastels.
Follow-Along Figure
This study was done on “Cinnamon” Canson Mi-Teintes (smooth side) in charcoal, soft pastel and pastel pencil. It was based on a demo in Sarah Hoggett’s Drawing & Painting Portraits & Figures: A complete step-by-step course, with 35 projects and 800 photographs.
