Coloring Techniques Shading, blending and other techniques can be used to enhance your coloring pages. These techniques will work well with POLYCHROMOS colored pencils and ART GRIP Aquarelles (watercolor pencils)

Intense Color:

To create blocks of intense color, hold the pencil in an almost

vertical position and press down hard on the paper.

Shading:

To color an area evenly, hold the pencil at a very shallow angle, and

only press down lightly on the paper. The structure of the paper will be

visible, while individual strokes will not.

Hatching and Cross-Hatching:

Drawing many lines alongside each other will create an area of

color, which can be intensified by repeatedly overlaying lines at

different angles.

Light to Dark

Light colors are transparent, while dark colors provide coverage.

Superimposing layers of color increases the brilliance and vividness

of the colors.
