Tutorial Thursday- Coloring with Prisma Pencils
Hey there this is DT Kerri and today I am sharing with you how I color with my Prisma Pencils. Now I do not have an Art Degree or anything like that I do this as a hobby. A couple of pointers to start is always use LIGHT PRESSURE..it is easier to add color then it is to remove color. If you struggle with pressure hold your pencil further back. Try to keep a sharp pencil and color in a small circular motion. I am going to provide you with a PRODUCT, COLOR LIST as well as step by step instructions. Hope you enjoy remember don’t give up Pencils take practice.
So here is the card finished now we are not going to make the whole card we are just going to color the Santa. Now if you want to color the Lights I did use the same Reds, Greens and Blues. First I am going to list the Products and the Pencils I used

COLORING TUTORIAL
Step 1
Gather all necessary supplies. I stamped my Image with MEMENTO TUXEDO BLACK INK onto white 100lb ACCENT SMOOTH PAPER. I always stamp at least two Images incase I mess one up I highly recommend this. Now we are going to get into the coloring!! Make sure you have a sharpener handy and remember keep your PRESSURE LIGHT!

Remember to keep your pressure light on a scale of one to ten, one is where you want to be.

Your second color is going to hit the edge of your first color and extend a bit towards the center. It will also extend the line of your first color.

Now your image should be completely colored. This is only the first layer of color. The next Steps which would be 7 - 12 you are going to repeat steps 1 threw 6. The second layer you are going to increase your pressure a bit. I have pics to show you each of these steps
