How to Sketch this Simple Waterfall in Pastel Pencil

free lessons pastels Jun 16, 2025

This pastel pencil waterfall tutorial lesson is ideal for beginners to pastel pencils. We'll start with blank paper and cover important topics like layering and blending to create a simple but pleasing landscape scene.

 

 

Materials You'll Need

  • A set of 24-36 Pitt pastel pencils by Faber-Castell (any brand though and you don't need the exact same colours as me)
  • Canson Mi Tents (rougher side) with a mid-brown colour (but again, any mind-toned pastel surface will do for this sketch)
  • Craft knife and sandpaper for sharpening
  • Kneaded eraser
