COLOUR PENCILS TUTORIAL EVENING WITH HELEN CARTER JAN 2026


January's Bug Workshop was presented by Helen Carter a professional artist and tutor who also demonstrates for Derwent Art.


Her original reference was a photograph by Stephen Hocking.


Helen prefers to use Derwent Chromaflow pencils on hot-pressed (smooth) paper.
She explained various colour pencil techniques, including hatching, cross-hatching, circling and indenting.

Selecting the colours was an important step.


Working from Helen's template we applied the colours using her techniques.



A keen pencil artist, Ali M., was in her element.


Fiona & Tina C were very happy too!


Helen brought some brilliant examples of her own work.
