Description

Class Experience

Interested in learning basic techniques, to make your colored pencil drawings look more realistic?  Each class in this course will introduce a fundamental colored pencil drawing skill for students to practice along with the teacher.  **Artist-grade colored pencils (such as Prismacolors) are a necessity for this course. 

Students will spend two lessons learning colored pencil basics, including mark-making, blending, layering, shading, and highlighting through demonstrations and guided...

We will practice using artist-quality colored pencils to blend, shade, and create realistic textures and forms.  Students will learn how to use color theory and build the layers of their drawing to create richer and more nuanced drawings.

I've taught drawing classes for many years in school; these are great foundational techniques that developing artists can use to bring richness and depth to their colored pencil drawings!
