Colored pencil is a versatile medium, great for everything from quick sketches to detailed, layered drawings. We’ll discuss different ways of using them, look at examples, and begin to experiment. Participants can choose any subject matter, and there will be plenty of time for drawing and individualized feedback.
All skill levels are welcome. The group will be limited to 12 participants. Erica will send you an invite with the Zoom link before the meeting.
Supplies:
(1) 9 x 12 or 11 x 14 multi-use sketchbook
2 drawing pencils of different hardnesses (HB and 2B)
1 grey kneaded eraser
1 white plastic eraser
Pencil sharpener
Colored pencils (regular colored pencils, rather than water soluble ones; some good brands are Prismacolor, Derwent, Caran D’Ache, Koh-I‐Noor, but other artist-grade pencils are fine)
Optional: In addition to, or instead of, a "regular" sketchbook, some sheets of multimedia paper, watercolor paper (hot and/or cold press) or bristol board would be good to experiment with different surfaces.
