What’s so great about colored pencil is that it takes little to get started: pencils, paper and a few tools. There’s no setup, no cleanup, no health concerns. You need just a small space to work in. Colored pencil like any other medium starts with technique and patience, as it is a building process of blending many layers of a combination of colors. We will begin with simple subjects. For the first few lessons you will not have to decide what you want to create, as that will be supplied for you. If you have never used colored pencil I know you will love it and enjoy the learning process. As I have learned over the years there is always more to learn for those of you who have experience in this medium. Plan on taking the class over a period of time as it is a building process.

If you are a beginner I will provide simpler projects for you in the beginning.
