How to Color Crystals
Every course focuses on one technique and takes you from first stroke to finished piece.
Crystals are all about light, transparency, and sharp facets. This course starts with individual crystal practice on both white and toned paper, then moves into a large crystal cluster project where you bring everything together. Lisa covers high contrast crystals, pale crystals, vibrant crystals, and colorful crystals, then teaches you priming, color layering, blending, glossy effects, and glimmer.
The course includes crystal color charts and a final project where you complete a full crystal cluster illustration.
After this course, you will...
- Draw high contrast, pale, vibrant, and colorful crystals
- Work on both white and toned paper for different crystal effects
- Prime, layer, and blend for glossy crystal surfaces
- Add glimmer and shine effects to finished crystals
- Complete a full crystal cluster illustration
