Efficient Background Techniques

Did you know that you set the overall mood of your drawing with the background? Even a simple background tone changes the impact of your drawing dramatically.

But did you also know that creating a simple background in a larger graphite drawing can eat up more than 50% of your total drawing time - only to leave you with patchy shading, smudges, and sore hands? Using graphite pencils requires relentless discipline, powder gets messy, and charcoal won’t cooperate with smooth paper. Skipping the background isn’t an option either; it makes your subject look disconnected.

But what if there was an easier, faster way? 

In this course, you’ll discover how to use Pan Pastel to create beautifully smooth, professional backgrounds in a fraction of the time—no mess, no frustration, just flawless results that make your artwork truly stand out.
