Anita Pounder explores Caran d’Ache supracolor pencils as she paints this cuddly Red Panda.
Anita discovers that by employing both watercolour and pencil techniques she can build up layers with ease, create her own colours and apply colour very precisely with the pencil or more loosely as a watercolour wash. Anita utilises the texture of her paper as well as the qualities of the pencils to produce the texture of the Red Panda’s fur.
