These top quality art pencils have six levels of intensity and carry a deep, rich concentration. So embrace your colourful side and explore a wealth of possibilities with POSCA PENCILS.
You can learn what techniques to try with your POSCA PENCILS in the video below.
1: Christmas wreath design; you will need
To make your POSCA PENCILChristmas wreath place names you will need black paper, POSCA PENCILS and a pencil sharpener (it is really important when working with pencils that they stay consistently sharp). We have used A4 black paper cut into A6 quarters with those quarters made into squares.
2: Make your POSCA PENCIL wreath
First use your white pencil to draw a rough circle inside your square as shown.
Using this white circle as a guide, cross hatch strokes of various shades of green POSCA pencil. As you can see the colours overlay and blend well with each over.
Keep layering your green pencil strokes until you have a vibrant, verdant fluffy wreath.
3: Overlay to embellish
Once you are happy with your green wreath overlay using a contrasting colour (we’ve used a light pink here) to create a tinsel garland effect. To do this make curved strokes around the wreath then draw zigzags and crosses along the strokes as shown.
Then take contrasting, deep colour such as purple or red as we have done here, to create your baubles. Simply draw in some rounds, then once you’re happy with the density of your baubles, add highlights with your white pencil.
Now all that’s left is to write in your name, we’ve chosen a white POSCA PENCIL to do this but you can choose any colour you like!
