Drawing with Confidence and Color

Discover the vibrancy and realism you can achieve with colored pencil! Topics in this class include structural and expressive line quality, color relationships, layering and blending, capturing light and volume. We will be drawing from still lives, botanical subjects, and your favorite photographs from your photo collection, as well as art history master copies. Learn about the science of color theory and diverse applications of colored pencil. Previous drawing experience required. We will also experiment with watercolor pencil brands that mix with water and “paint” with watercolor pencils.

Additionally, the class will focus on exercises to build and polish your drawing skills, introducing the next steps from drawing to beginners. Each session will include demonstrations to improve your hand-eye coordination and learn the steps and tools to create your drawing masterpieces! Intermediate level suggested.
