Tips from the Shed

“For jaw-dropping contrast, layer Black Edition colours on Fabriano Black Black paper pads. Start with feather-light strokes, then build pressure to deepen shadows. Blend with a dry brush or tortillon for a creamy gradient. And always use a fresh sharpener blade—these softies deserve it.”
