Description
These colored pencil classes are taught by various talented artists. Realism, abstraction, whimsy, landscape, portraiture, and wildlife are all favorite subjects of colored pencil students. In these classes you will learn color theory, layering, strokes, use of paper and tools, dry pencil, watercolor pencil, and much more.
These classes show the student how much fun it is to learn new techniques and stretch your expertise. Please sign up for class at least one week ahead of time, so instructors can prepare accordingly.
