Colored Pencil Drawing

Adult Classes | Available

This class can be used as a continuation of Intro to Colored Pencil or stand alone for those who have some experience drawing in colored pencil and want to refine their skills. Students will use the techniques of drawing, including the use of shading, blending, layering, and some color theory, in the pursuit of drawing finished colored pencil pieces. Each student will spend the time working on his or her own concepts, and being creative. The classroom setting will be light and laid back, focusing mainly on getting the most of each student’s individual abilities and talents.

  • Students are encouraged to bring in any other materials they wish to use as reference or inspiration.

  • *Note- Please bring printed color reference photos to the first class
