In this beginner-to-intermediate course, students will be introduced to the fundamental principles and techniques of drawing with colored pencils, including terminology, color basics, blending of two or more colors, layering, gradients, shading, and linework styles. We’ll also cover the differences between types of colored pencils, how each can be used for optimal results, as well as how to choose proper colors for drawing on white vs toned or black paper. Time-permitting, students will learn how to draw objects of different materials and textures such as metal, wood, glass, etc. Students who have them should bring their own colored pencil sets. Class participants will be limited to 8.
