Drawing Botanicals in Colored Pencil
January 13 - February 17

Wednesday afternoons

ONLINE

Love to draw but dreaming in color?
Let's explore colored pencils! We'll start with pencil drawing techniques to accurately capture botanical forms with an emphasis on shape, proportion and perspective. See how to add depth with light on form in shading and cast shadows. Colored pencil is not just for 'coloring" Learn to mix your own colors in layers and how to apply them like a painter for luminous depth and bold hues. From fruit to leaves to flowers, each week we'll take on a new botanical challenge from start to finish. By the end of the course, you'll have a lovely collection of your own small botanical artworks!
