How to Draw Rocks in Chalk

In this video tip, See the Light chalk artist, Jim Pence demonstrates how to draw large rocks and boulders with lecturer’s chalk. He’s also included four short (five-ish minute) YouTube videos with different approaches to drawing rocks with pencil and pen.

Jim is drawing with lecturer’s chalk on bogus paper. You can purchase these supplies at Eternity Arts (eternityarts.com). If you don’t want to buy chalk, soft pastels will work just as well, and you can draw on pastel paper or construction paper.

How to Draw a Waterfall

Draw a Beautiful Waterfall

How to Draw a Waterfall in Chalk with image of a waterfall in the background.

I love waterfalls! When I was about four years old, my family visited Niagara Falls. Although I don’t recall a lot of detail, the falls must have made an impression on me. I still have vague memories of standing there and watching the spray, feeling the mist, seeing people in yellow rain slickers.

But waterfalls aren’t only fun to watch, they’re fun to draw, too. In this week’s blog post, I’ve gathered four short (5-ish minute) videos that you should find helpful.

In the first video, I’ll be using lecturer’s chalk (you can buy it at eternityarts.com). As with my other chalk tutorials, this will also work with soft pastels. The other demos are done with pencil or marker.

So get out some chalk, pastels, pencils, and paper, and let’s have some fun.

To purchase lecturer’s chalk, go to Eternity Arts (eternityarts.com).
