Color Pencil Beasties

Animals make us laugh and bring contentment to our lives. Spend the day creating imaginative color pencil portraits of assorted beasties. Don’t worry about drawing abilities. This is about learning to see, blending colors and layering to create depth and saturation of color. Pencil technique demos include blending, hatching, directional lines, and burnishing. Giving permission to yourself to create is the first step. We’ll paint rice papers with various acrylics for backgrounds to provide a toothy surface for color pencils, and then use water soluble pens to create an underpainting of values. Your beastie will include adornments to complete the ensemble. Materials Fee includes: rice papers, chart pack pens, white and colored acrylic inks, drawing and tracing papers, acrylic paints, photo references of animals and outfits.
