Introduction to Colored Pencils

Learn one of the easiest, accessible fine art mediums ā€“ colored pencils. Often overlooked as childā€™s play, colored pencils are now well-respected in the art community. This medium can produce vibrant colors with a wide-range of effects.

Colored pencils are versatile, relatively inexpensive, and perfect for the mobile artist. Theyā€™re also great for the busy person (mom, professional) who doesnā€™t have time to clean up painting supplies.

In this course youā€™ll learn introductory concepts including color theory, layering colors, transferring an image, and techniques to render textures. Youā€™ll be guided through the creation of one drawing and get started on your next creation. No previous drawing experience is necessary; and, all skill levels are welcome.

You will need a set of pencils to take this class. You may bring your own or purchase a set of 12 (for $20) on the first day of class. Paper, sharpeners, transfer paper, and all other supplies will be provided.
